Merry Christmas From the Family

I like how The First Noel, Silent Night and Feliz Navidad is blended into this masterpiece...

O God beyond all praising


Coolest part about this hymn is that it is one of the few times a secular piece was converted well into sacred music (because it follows traditional principles). This was originally Holst's Jupiter.

Jupiter by Gustav Holst The familiar part start at 2:59.

Oh God Beyond All Praising

In my opinion this is the most beautiful recessional hymn for both Priestly Ordinations and Weddings, or really any great occasion.

An ACTS brother from Thibodaux! I am grateful for your conversion! Many times those who enter Catholicism later in life become the strongest Catholics!

I used to like whatever was listed on the sign as the "exit hymn".

For starters, hymns are mostly Protestant, but I listen to anything from chant to hymns. Nothing modern however.

Some of the ones that I've come to appreciate more recently that are not as popular as stuff like Hark the Herold Angels Sing (which is fantastic):
In the Bleak Midwinter
Jesus Christ the Apple Tree
Gabriel's Message (Catholic I think)

Though, there's hardly a traditonal Christmas carol that I don't like.

I highly recommend these albums:
Christmas at Kings (youtube)
Spotify

I'm not Catholic.

Christmas:
O Holy Night
Mary, did You know?

Non-Christmas:
How Great Thou Art
It is well
Great is thy faithfulness

You nailed it. One of the best parts of Christmas is the first notes of O Come All Ye Faithful as the mass entrance starts.

Silent Night is up there for me because we inherited a tradition from wife's family of singing it together on Christmas Eve.

Hark the Herald probably the GOAT Christmas hymn. Charles Wesley words plus Mendelssohn tune.

12 days of Christmas personal favorite carol.
