Christmas songs contain some of the most theologically-rich lyrics ever written. We took a poll at the Sola Media office and created this playlist of staff favorites. Here are a few memorable stanzas to help lift your eyes to Christ this Christmas season:
“He came down to earth from heaven,
Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall;
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.”
– from, “Once in Royal David’s City”
“True man, yet very God,
From sin and death He saves us,
And lightens every load.”
– from, “Lo How a Rose E’er Blooming”
“Prophets have spoken all he would accomplish
When of the light of God would dwell with man.”
–from, “The Light Came Down”
“All praise to you, eternal Lord,
clothed in our human flesh and blood,
a manger choosing for your throne,
while worlds on worlds are yours alone.”
–from, “All Praise to Thee, Eternal Lord”
“He’s the Lamb who was given
Slain for our pardon
His promise is peace
For those who believe
So come, though you have nothing
Come, He is the offering
Come, see what your God has done
Christ is born.”
– from, “Oh Come All You Unfaithful”
