Harringay online

Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

We're putting together a list of Christmas carols for St Paul's Christmas services. What's your favourite carol and is there a particular reason why you like it? We'll be singing carols at Harringay station and outside the church on Friday 16th December between 6 - 7.00pm and might even have some mulled wine on hand.

Once in Royal David's City 

In the Deep Midwinter (not the Harold Darke version!)

 

And even better, the Bet Jansch version

We'd have to have a bit of Come all Ye Faithful and Hark the Herald Angels.

Little Donkey.

Dormi Jesu

( cos I am posh   )

On reflection (and not to be outposhed by John D), can we be without Stille Nacht or Veni, Veni Emmanuel ?  And to keep any old Romans happy, maybe Hugh's first choice should launch as Adeste Fideles. And hoping for a nice snowdrift for Boxing Day (or Stephens's Day as they say in Dublin), Good King Wenceslas .

God rest ye merry, Gentlemen

It's my fourth favourite really - but Liz, Angela and Hugh have beaten me to the others.

Has to be ,"Oh little town of Bethlehem" but it has to be sung by little children !!!!

I love in The Bleak Midwinter - for the poetry adn Hark the Herald - remember hearing it as a child - thinkinbg how exultant it was. So many I love ... Personent hodie - bit of Latin always good

I love the words of "It came upon the midnight clear" - they seem to carry such a message of hope (though I'm not a Christian). Traditional (English) tune please.

oh so many but this year i am liking I Saw Three Ships,  Hark! The Herald Angel Sing and although its not a carol, White Christmas. 

OT - I am hating the expression " I am liking ".  MacDonaldspeak.
