Lutheran Advent Season is Celebrated with Song and Music
“You better watch out! You better not cry. You better not doubt, I’m telling you why…” Oh no, that’s not how the hymns for Advent season being. Thank God that isn’t the theme of our Advent songs and hymns. But we often live that way, don’t we?
Jesus isn’t trying to catch us in sin or doing “good for goodness sake”
Yes, we should try. Try to live right, try to be clean, try not to sin. Our family and friends really need us to be good and not just during Advent leading up to Christmas.
Hymns for Advent Season are Full of Hope, Love, and Anticipation
Lutheran Advent hymns are a combination of some contemporary Advent songs such as “The Angel Gabriel” and some others you may not recognize. I created a YouTube Advent Hymns playlist below for your enjoyment. Maybe you will recognize some of them, and others may bring back memories of Advent worship songs from the past.
