Comfort All My People and O Holy Night

Eager anticipation. That's what we see in children's faces this time of year, don't we? Amazed by the lights, the sounds, the feel of the season. This eager anticipation sometimes gets lost over the years as we grow older, but as Terry looks at the song "Comfort All My People", we have opportunity to take hold again of that eagerness, the arrival of God's only Son. As we wait with hope, we see prophecy come to life and our anticipation gains foothold, so that when the day finally comes of Jesus in the manger, we joyfully sing songs such as "O Holy Night", celebrating the arrival of our Savior. Listen as we learn not only of the origins of these songs, but how they can renew our hope and faith in His season.
