LIFECHANGING QUESTION

A nativity of "JOY"
(Debbie's middle name is Joy)

Singing Christmas carols before or after reading a Biblical account of Jesus’ Advent is a frequent Christmas tradition in our family. We especially appreciate carols that are biblically sound and clear in testimony—those that speak of Jesus’ whole life and the reason He came. “Who is He?” (link to the Enfield band) continues to be one of our favorites. The questions posed in the song reflect His life purpose. The answer given by every person on earth to “Who is Jesus?” matters eternally. May our words and deeds lead unbelieving friends to acknowledge Jesus as Lord and King! We ponder with you the wonder of the Innocent Child, who is also our Suffering Savior and Conquering King.

“Who is He?” (Link to a family quartet singing the words written by Benjamin Hanby in 1866)

1-Who is He in yonder stall at whose feet the shepherds fall?
Who is He in deep distress, fasting in the wilderness?

Chorus:
‘Tis the Lord! O wondrous story! ‘Tis the Lord, the King of glory!
At His feet, we humbly fall. Crown Him, crown Him, Lord of all!

2-Who is He the people bless for His words of gentleness?
Who is He to whom they bring all the sick and sorrowing?

3-Who is He that stands and weeps at the grave where Lazarus sleeps?
Who is He the gathering throng greet with loud triumphant song?

4-Lo! At midnight, who is He, prays in dark Gethsemane?
Who is He on yonder tree, dies in grief and agony?

5-Who is He that from the grave comes to heal and help and save?
Who is He that from His throne rules through all the world alone?

‘Tis the Lord! O wondrous story! ‘Tis the Lord, the King of glory!
At His feet, we humbly fall. Crown Him, crown Him, Lord of all!

Verlin added the two links of this hymn to the AWA Christmas Playlist, which he first developed in 2016. If you like, let us know which of the two you prefer. Or send a link to a favorite carol or hymn shared in a style that most churches could use when meeting, and we will add it.

Joyous Christmas from our home to yours!
