24 Best Christmas Worship Songs
Ben White

With Christmas just around the corner, it's the time to blast Christmas songs. Christmas songs are the best. My favorites are the ones that praise God. It is such a good reminder that this celebratory season is not about Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer or Santa Baby. This is the season to praise God for humbling Himself and coming to earth to dwell with His people. Here are some of my favorite Christian Christmas songs.

1. "How Many Kings" by Downhere

"And how many gods have poured out their hearts / To romance a world that is torn all apart?/ How many fathers gave up their sons for me?"

2. "Silent Night" by Carpenters

"Silent night, holy night! / All is calm, all is bright. / Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child. / Holy infant so tender and mild

3. "The First Noel" by Phil Wickham

"The First Noel the Angels did say / Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay / In fields where they lay keeping their sheep / On a cold winter's night that was so deep"

4. "Mary Did You Know?" by Anthem Lights

"Did you know / That your Baby Boy is heaven's perfect Lamb? / The sleeping Child you're holding is the great 'I am'"

5. "The Little Drummer Boy" by Harry Simeone Chorale

"I played my drum for Him pa-rum pum pum pum / I played my best for Him pa -rum pum pum pum / Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum / Then He smiled at me pa-rum pum pum pum"

6. "Angels We Have Heard On High" by Sanctus Real

"Angels we have heard on high / Oh, the mountains tremble in reply."

7. "O Come All Ye Faithful" by Phil Wickham

"Hail, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning / Jesus, to Thee be all glory given / Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing"

8. "O Come Let Us Adore Him" by Hillsong Worship

"The oceans and skies / Lift up their voice / And all all He has made / Will rise to bless / The King of all kings."

9. "Come Thou Long Expected Jesus" by Kings Kaleidoscope

"Come Thou long expected Jesus / Born to set Thy people free / From our fears and sins, release us / Let us find our rest in Thee "

10. "What Child Is This?" by Harry Simeone Chorale

"So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh, / Come, peasant, King, to own Him; / The King of kings salvation brings, / Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

11. "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" by Rend Collective

"Born that man no more may die / Born to raise the sons of earth / Born to give them second birth"

12. "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" by Hillsong Worship

"A blessed angel came / And unto certain shepherds / Brought tidings of the same / How that in Bethlehem was born / The son of God by name "

13. "O Holy Night" by Kari Jobe

"Long lay the world in sin and error pining / 'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth "

14. "Do You Hear What I Hear?" by Third Day

"The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night / He will bring us goodness and light "

15. "O Come O Come Emmanuel" by The Civil Wars

"O come, O come Emmanuel / And ransom captive Israel / That mourns in lonely exile here / Until the Son of God appears"

16. "Joy To The World" by Hillsong Worship

"He rules the world with truth and grace / And makes the nations prove / The glories of His righteousness / And wonders of His love "

17. "Christmastide" by The Brilliance

"Christmastide, bring us peace tonight / Christmastide, we thank you for Your life"

18. "His Name Shall Be" by Matt Redman

"He came to lift the weary ones / Give peace and perfect rest / To take away our burdens and / To give a glorious gift"

19. "Oh Light (feat. Gungor and All Sons & Daughters)" by The Liturgists

"Oh light Mending fractured earth / The soul now felt its worth / Holy night"

20. "Our King Has Come" by Hillsong Worship

"For the Lord has done great things / Oh how my soul will sing"

21. "The First Noel" by Sleeping at Last

"And to the earth

It gave great light. / And so it continued / Both day and night."

22. "Joy" by Mercy Me

"Let no sins and sorrows grow / Nor thorns infest the ground / He makes His blessings flow / Far as the curse is found / Rejoice the Savior reigns"

23. "Glory" by Gungor

"Jesus Jesus / Hope and joy / In a baby boy / Come to love and come to free us"

24."Joyful Joyful" by The Brilliance

"Melt the clouds of sin and sadness / Drive the dark of doubt away / Giver of immortal gladness / Fill us with the light of day"

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
