Five Advent Carols to get you in the mood for the season
So, last week we brought you the definitive Christian Today top ten versions of that classic Advent carol O Come, O Come, Emmanuel. Although that is an undisputed classic, there are more great Advent carols to get excited about.
These carols are about the longing for the arrival of Emmanuel - God with us.
So here are five of the best to enjoy during this season of anticipation and expectation...
5. Hills of the North Rejoice
"City of God, the bond are free, we come to live and reign in thee!"
4. Creator of the Stars of Night
"Jesus, redeemer, save us all, and hear Thy servants when they call."
3. Lift up Your Heads, Ye Mighty Gates
"Fling wide the portals of your heart; make it a temple, set apart."
2. Lo, He Comes with Clouds Descending
"Saviour, take the pow'r and glory, claim the kingdom for thine own."
1. Come Thou Long Expected Jesus
"Hope of all the earth Thou art, dear desire of every nation, joy of every longing heart."
