Grateful For Music Challenge Day 13

Song: Carol of the Bells/Wayfaring Stranger

Artist(s): BYU Vocal Point feat. Mat & Savanna Shaw

I apologize for my past several posts...they are very "woe is me" pity party vibes. 😬 I'm not proud of the way I've thought and acted. I need to own up to my own short-comings and stop feeling sorry for myself and placing blame on everyone else. This next week I have a lot of fun and exciting things going on so it's time to turn the page on this past week and have a fresh start going into the next!

This arrangement is beautiful and I really enjoyed the "Wayfaring Stranger" bit. I'm not familiar with that song but I thought it was lovely and the mash-up came together so well, especially the ending, as they all turn to honor the Savior. I'm definitely starting to feel the Christmas spirit! It's officially time for the most wonderful time of the year to begin!! ✨

Hark! How the bells

Sweet silver bells

All seem to say,

"Throw cares away."

Christmas is here

Bringing good cheer

To young and old

Meek and the bold

Ding, dong, ding, dong

That is their song

With joyful ring

All caroling

One seems to hear

Words of good cheer

From ev'rywhere

Filling the air

Oh how they pound

Raising the sound

O'er hill and dale

Telling their tale

Joyf'ly they ring

While people sing

Songs of good cheer

Christmas is here

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas

On, on they send

On without end

Their joyful tone

To ev'ry home

I am a poor wayfaring stranger

While traveling through this world of woe

Yet there's no sickness, toil nor danger

In that bright land to which I go

I'm going there to see my mother

She said she'd meet me when I come

I'm just a going over Jordan

I'm just a going over home

I'm just a going home

To every heart

I'm going home

I'll soon be free

(Hark! How the bells, sweet silver bells)

From earthly trial

(All seem to say, throw cares away)

My body sleep

(Christmas is here, bringing good cheer)

In the church yard,

(Ding, dong, ding, dong, that is their song

With joyful ring, all caroling)

I’ll drop the cross

(Hark! How the bells, sweet silver bells)

Of self-denial

(All seem to say, throw cares away)

And enter on my great reward,

(On, on they send on without end

Their joyful tone, to every home)

I'm going there to see my Savior

To sing His praise, forevermore

I'm just a going over Jordan

I'm just a going over home

I'm just a going over home

To every heart

Over home

Hark! How the Bells

Over Home

To every heart
