Christmas carols or Advent hymns?  Your church can sing both. Simultaneously!

 
The Presbyterian Outlook commissioned noted Presbyterian hymn writer Carolyn

Winfrey Gillette to prepare four Advent carol texts to be sung to familiar, beloved

Christmas tunes everyone enjoys singing. The lyrics are based upon the lectionary

text for each Advent Sunday.
          

You can lead your congregation in singing:

"God, You Alone Know What You've Planned"
to the tune of "It Came upon a Midnight Clear"

"When Old Zechariah Saw What God Had Done"
to the tune of "Away in a Manger"

"John Went Out to Preach God's Word"
to the tune of "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" 

"Mary Gladly Told Her Cousin"
to the tune of "Once in David's RoyalCity"

 
The lyrics alone are being published one per week in the Outlook magazine, but waiting for each issue gives you little time to work the hymn texts into your worship plans. So we are offering them to you all NOW and all READY to print out for bulletin inserting beginning on the first Sunday of Advent, Nov. 29 - in full music manuscript, like they would appear in a hymnal. You download a master, and then print as many copies as you need for your worship services. 
 
One downloadable hymn-carol is $9.95 OR all four are only $29.95 (ready to be printed altogether on a two-sided 8.5"x11" page).
