If you’ll indulge my sentimentality for a moment, one benefit of rehearsing for our Christmas concert in a few weeks is learning more than just the first verse of familiar carols. -- (edited)

The fourth (third in our arrangement) verse of It Came Upon a Midnight Clear has spoken to me a lot, recently, and not just because of the gorgeous choral setting of it we get to sing:

For lo! The days are hastening on,
By prophet seen of old
And with the ever-circling years
Shall come the time foretold
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling
And the world send back the song
That now the angels sing.

This is the arrangement we’re singing (youtu.be)

It's like the opposite of We Wish You a Merry Christmas where it's all good until they start squatting in your house demanding figgy pudding. -- nm - Dano Nov 16, 12:39 2
