Name That Christmas Tune, Day 11

[lumineaux]

It's been a weird, weird week and I apologize for the spotty postings.

Here are three more tunes to test your holiday musical knowledge.

(1) Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled,
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world;

(2) Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar,
Seek the great Desire of Nations;
Ye have seen his natal star;


(3) He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness.


The answers are: (1) It Came Upon A Midnight Clear; (2) Angels From The Realms of Glory; and (3) Joy to the World

1. Hark the Herald Angels

2. Nope, no clue

3. Aaaagh. I can *hear* this one, I even know the next line. but cannot drag the title out of my cold-fogged brain. Also, now I have an earworm.

1. It Came Upon A Midnight Clear - one of my favorites.
2. Dunno, but now I am curious to look.
3. Joy to the World is one of the *best* carols for bellowing in part harmony. :)

Thank you. As soon as I typed "Hark" I thought it was wrong but my brain stopped. Joy to the World is also great for belling (hand belling that is), so I really should have known it.

The last one is "Joy to the World"
