Though I had heard the origin story of this great hymn before, I have never heard it told in such a dramatic and touching way. If you are a fan of Downton Abbey, Hugh Bonneville, or the Mormon Tabernacle Choir you will love this moving 16 minute Christmas story.
Whenever, however we suffer our own night of sorrow
God's love does shine in the darkness
Hope can heal the wounded soul
And the Christmas work
Of giving
Of loving
Serving
And of rescuing
Is ours, if we choose to make it so
And as we do, we join with Saints and Angels
To rejoice and sing...
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Your brother in Christ, Dave
