Music for Advent and Christmas.

Post your favorites.

I'll start with the Advent hymn "People, Look East," based on a French tune, Besancon.

1. I don't have a link or video but I love Prepare the Way Oh Zion.

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

2. My favourite song for Advent

was not specifically written for Advent, but IMHO is perfect. It's Joe Wise's "Lord, Teach Us To Pray".

One of my major complaints about Christmas music is that we only hear the same dozen or so song. There are lots of other ones, such as "Christ Was Born In Bethlehem",

Or "Go Tell It On The Mountain" -- here sung by James Taylor, but there is an interesting cover by Bob Marley.

Or many more.

3. My favorite Advent song:

Behold a virgin bearing him
Who comes to save us from our sin
The prophets cry, prepare his way
Make straight his path to Christmas day.

Behold our hope and life and light
The promise of the holy night
We lift our prayer and bend our knee
To his great love and majesty.
