Robert Stone: Psalm for Christmas Eve By Robert Hugh Stone This is sung to the tune Away in a manger with the congregation joining in the singing of the last five syllables of each line. Each stanza begins with the five syllables which are the conclusion of each line in that stanza. I was asked to do the psalm for the midnight service at Faith Lutheran Church in Lebanon, Tennessee, Christmas Eve 2002. I knew that it would be too dim for the congregation to read words so I pondered over how to include them in the singing of the psalm. That very afternoon this idea came to me. At the 5 pm service of Bethlehem United Methodist Church, the people enthusiastically joined in the refrains (and there was piano accompaniment). At the 11 pm service there was no accompaniment. On Christmas Eve morning 2006 I led this again at Suggs Creek Cumberland Presbyterian Church. -- RHS Psalm 96: Each Day A New Song Psalm for Christmas Eve Each day a new song sing each day a new song.Reprinted with permission.
