DescriptionMusic has always been at the heart of Christmas. Even before the first Christmas, when the world was filled with a sense of expectation, melodies of hope and joy rang out. As Mary and Joseph prepared for the birth of their child and the magi followed the stars, these early songs set the tone for a season filled with wonder. Though not as familiar as the carols we sing today, these biblical songs are deeply woven into our Christmas traditions. This book invites you to revisit these four sacred hymns and reflect on their timeless messages. Through a combination of scripture readings, thoughtful reflections, and contemplative prompts, each chapter offers a new way to experience the beauty and mystery of the season. Let these songs lead you into a deeper appreciation of the awe-inspiring reality of Emmanuel—God with us—and help you embrace the true spirit of Christmas. Chapters include:·The Song of Mary, with reflections on hope, partnership with God, and generational legacy·The Song of Zechariah, with reflections on silence, doubt, and transformation·The Song of the Angels, with reflections on peace, expectation, and worship·The Song of Simeon, with reflections on patience, contentment, and gratitude
