French "Christmas carol service"
(in quotes because the French don't really have them, so this is what ours was like)
Yesterday at the church Christmas Eve meeting we sang:
Les anges dans nos campagnes (Angels from the realms of glory)
Once in Royal David's city ("in the language of Shakespeare")
Voici Noël (Silent night)
O peuple fidele (O come all ye faithful)
Thou didst leave thy throne (Shakespeare's tongue again - for Sammy's epilogue)
O nuit bienveillante (goes to a tune we use for "sweet the moments, rich in blessing")
Invitations had been sent to all sorts of people who were connected in some way with the church, and lots of people came, most of whom I had never seen before. Pray that some of these folk will respond to the gospel.
