In The Songs Tell the Story, Janet Denison relates the origin stories for 25 classic Christmas songs and hymns.
Did you know:
- “What Child is This?” was penned by a poetry-writing insurance salesman who suffered a near-fatal illness.
- The lyrics and melody of “O Holy Night” were written by non-Christians.
- And “We Three Kings,” at least in its title, is likely factually incorrect.
While such facts are interesting, what makes The Songs Tell the Story most compelling is how Janet Denison’s biblical insight turns every origin story into a devotional, reminding us of Jesus, the true gift of Christmas.
The Songs Tell the Story is an Advent devotional. If you begin reading on Dec. 1, you’ll finish on Christmas Day. Each chapter is short enough to be read in just a few minutes—though you will think about their application throughout your day.
You will be inspired, encouraged, and blessed by the lesser-known stories of these 25 well-known songs.
We hope that, after reading about how a Christmas hymn came to be, you’ll want to listen to the song with a newfound appreciation for how God worked to bring such a timeless song into our yearly celebrations of the gift of Christmas.
If we have ears to hear, we’ll understand that these songs truly do tell the story of Jesus, the gift of Christmas.
