Christmas is coming and this means many things to different people. Shopping. Baking. Decorating. For Christians, this is a time to reflect on Christ, his sacrifices and how to share His love for others. I love the newer versions of many Christmas songs, but I often go searching for the old classic version of some. I love listening to Christmas music (after Thanksgiving) and often play a blend of old favorites and new renditions by more recent groups.
Here are 10 favorite Christian Christmas song to get you in the holiday spirit.
Favorite Lyrics
Rejoice rejoice
Emmanuel shall come to thee oh Israel
Oh come thou day-spring come and cheer
Our spirits by thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight
Favorite Lyrics
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear
(do you hear what I hear)
Ringing through the sky shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear
(do hear what I hear)
A song, a song
High above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea
Favorite Lyrics
Let fields and flocks
Rocks hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Go tell of his glory
Go shout the new story
The Savior is born
Let heaven, heaven
Heaven, heaven
And nature sing
Sing joy to the world
For the savior reigns
And makes
His blessings flow
Favorite Lyrics
Oh, come let us adore Him
Oh, come let us adore Him

Favorite Lyrics
What child is this who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary
Favorite Lyrics
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God our King
And peace to men on earth
Favorite Lyrics
Angels we have on heard high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing through the night,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brave delight.
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Favorite Lyrics
Silent night, Holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord at thy birth
Jesus, Lord at thy birth.
Favorite Lyrics
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him
Christ the lord.
Again the heart with rapture glows
To greet the holy night,
That gave the world it's christmas rose,
Its king of love and light
Let ev'ry voice acclaim his name,
The grateful chorus swell
From paradise to earth he came
That we with him might dwell.
Favorite Lyrics
Mary, did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy would one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
That sleeping child you're holding is the great I am.
Mary, did you know? Mary, did you know? Mary, did you know?..
There are so many more Christian Christmas songs I love and I seem to discover a new one each year! What is your favorite Christmas song that captivates you or you just love singing to?
I am a Christian writer and editor that lives in northern Michigan and thoroughly enjoy music, movies, TV shows, books and other entertainment with a Christian focus. My favorite song is "Oceans" by Hillsong United because it reminds me that has big plans for me and everyone else who puts their trust in Him. There are many movies that have impacted my life, but a few include God's Not Dead, The Shunning and Letters to God. I also write for www.faithandentertainment.com and love connecting with readers, so please don't hesitate to contact me! When I'm not writing I enjoy watching movies and laughing with my busy toddler and husband.
