The Greatest Christmas Song: Index/Resources

This is just a place to list, in order, all the posts about “the greatest Christmas song” in order, and to provide you with a few other things to check out if you’re interested…

• A Measure of Modern Christmas  Music is perhaps one of the best measures of what Christmas has become in our world today. I think it was last year when I heard about a poll that ambitiously tried to identify the greatest Christmas song of all time. Of all time!
• The Greatest Christmas Song?  The greatest Christmas song of all time. A tough choice! When asked what my favourite is, I usually choose It Came Upon A Midnight Clear. But that’s not what this article is about.
• The Greatest Christmas Song: King of Angels  This week we’ll take a look at the first verse and chorus of the song I chose as the greatest Christmas song of all time…
• The Greatest Christmas Song: The Missing Verse  When I think of O Come All Ye Faithful, I think especially of of verse 2 … I started pulling out hymnbooks from my shelf. And surprisingly, I only found one hymnal that even had this verse!
• The Greatest Christmas Song: Come and Worship!  Today I’m going to cheat, and include three verses. The first one is probably the most familiar to you…
• The Greatest Christmas Song – Why was the Baby there?  O Come All Ye Faithful may contain a lot of theology, but it’s almost purely for the purpose of worship. You might say, it doesn’t explain a lot. But we do get some important hints in the next verse.
• The Greatest Christmas Song: Christmas Greetings  Yea (yes), Lord, we greet Thee! The most important greetings we can give at Christmas, or any time.
