‘Lo, He Comes with Clouds Descending’ is a classic Advent hymn written by Charles Wesley in 1758. The hymn is based on several biblical passages, including Revelation 1:7, which speaks of Jesus’ second coming.

The hymn’s lyrics beautifully capture the themes of Advent, which include hope, expectation, and preparation for the coming of Jesus Christ. The opening verse, announces the triumphant return of Jesus, while the subsequent verses reflect on the significance of this event.

As we begin our journey through the Advent season, let’s reflect on the true meaning of Christmas. This hymn is a powerful reminder of the hope and expectation that defines this special time of year.

Join us on December 15th for our Christmas concert, as we celebrate the birth of Jesus and look forward to His glorious return!

‘We three Kings of Orient are;’ tells the story of the Magi, also known as the Three Wise Men, who traveled from the East to pay homage to the newborn Jesus. According to the Bible, the Magi followed a star to Bethlehem, where they found Jesus and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

"The First Noel" is believed to have originated in 16th-century England, specifically in the West Country. The exact authorship is unknown, but the lyrics are thought to have been inspired by the biblical account of the Nativity, particularly Luke 2:8-14.

The song's title, "The First Noel," refers to the first Christmas, or the "first nowell" (an old English word for Christmas). The lyrics retell the story of the shepherds and the angels announcing the birth of Jesus.

One theory is that the song was written by a group of traveling minstrels or troubadours who performed in the West Country. These musicians would have been familiar with the traditional folk songs and melodies of the region, which they incorporated into their own compositions.

“Angels from the Realms of Glory” paints a vivid picture of the heavenly host announcing the birth of Jesus Christ. The carol’s author, James Montgomery, masterfully weaves together biblical imagery and poetic language to create a sense of awe, wonder, and joy.

What’s even more amazing is the carol’s emphasis on the angels’ message of love, peace, and redemption. The repeated refrain, “Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn king,” invites all people to join in the heavenly celebration and pay homage to the Savior.
