Last year living in Luxembourg was difficult during the Christmas season, especially when there are so many Chrsitmas songs that talk about home. These songs have a new meaning for me now that I'm back in the States. Included in the list of beautiful Christmas songs about home is the "Fratenizers' Hymn" from the movie
Joyeux Noel. I know this is an unusally long blog for me, but I've listed three songs below.
- Christmas Lullaby
by Amy Grant and Chris Eaton
Are you far
Away from home
This dark and lonely night?
Tell me what best would help
To ease your mind.
Someone to give
Direction for
This unfamiliar road?
Or one who says, "Follow me
And I will lead you home."
How beautiful
How precious
The Savior of all
To love so completely
The loneliest soul.
How gently
How tenderly
He says to one and all,
"Child, you can follow Me,
And I will lead you home.
Trust Me and follow Me,
And I will lead you home."
Be near me,
Lord Jesus,
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray.
Bless all the
Dear children
In Thy tender care,
And take us to heaven
To live with Thee there.
Take us to heaven
To live with Thee there.
- Tender Tennessee Christmas
by Amy Grant and Gary Chapman
Come on weather man,
Give us a forecast snowy white.
Can't you hear the prayers
Of every childlike heart tonight?
Rockies are callin',
Denver snow fallin'
Somebody said it's four feet deep,
But it doesn't matter
Give me the laughter,
I'm gonna choose to keep
Another tender Tennessee Christmas,
The only Chirstmas for me,
Where the love circles around us
Like the gifts around our tree.
Well I know there's more snow up in Colorado
Than my roof will ever see,
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me.
- Hymne des Fraternises
(I’m Dreaming of Home)
I hear the mountain birds
The sound of rivers singing
A song I’ve often heard
It flows through me now
So clear and so loud
I stand where I am
And forever
I’m dreaming of home
I feel so alone
I’m dreaming of home
It’s carried in the air
The breeze of early morning
I see the land so fair
My heart opens wide
There’s sadness inside
I stand where I am
And forever
I’m dreaming of home
I feel so alone
I’m dreaming of home
This is no foreign sky
I see no foreign light
But far away am I
From some peaceful land
I’m longing to stand
A hand in my hand
Forever
I’m dreaming of home
I feel so alone
I’m dreaming of home
