Description
A new collection of classic carols and Christmas songs
Christmas has a special place in Christian worship. The first coming of Christ is the great revelatory event in salvation history and has always moved Christians to sing the praises of Christ. This new music book from Praise Trust aims to give churches a trusted and diverse collection of carols, advent hymns and modern songs to enrich their worship.
Within this collection you will find the essential classics, such as Hark! the herald angels sing and Silent night, as well as more traditional carols such as Good Christians all, rejoice and On Christmas night all Christians sing. We have reworked the words of O holy night to enrich the theme of redemption, and a few traditional items have a transforming new tune, some written specially for this book. As well as many modern items that are well known, we have included recent discoveries such as Comfort and joy, Welcome home and O come, all you unfaithful. Several items are best suited as performance pieces for a church singing group in a carol service. We have also included several children’s songs with Christmas family services in mind.
Alongside the music book we are publishing a range of additional resources on our website, which is being rolled out over the coming weeks. While the piano score is in the book, the lyrics, alternative arrangements, choral settings, and other resources can be found online for you to explore and download.
