Day 21/Track 21

Author: Unknown, 1838

Tune: The First Nowell

Scripture: Luke 2, Matthew 2

This familiar and popular hymn brings the manger scene to life as the shepherds and wisemen follow a star that leads them to Bethlehem and the manger. They kneel to worship the newborn King of Israel.

This is one of the hymns that brings back several memories of Christmas. Christmas pageants, carolling from door to door and the Yule Log programm that plays Christmas songs while a fire burns in fireplace for 24 hours, starting Christmas Eve. 

Doyou have a favorite memory of this song?
