In Episode 14 of HIS Story Through Hymns, we continue our Advent series with one of the oldest Christmas carols still sung today—God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen. This 15th-century hymn has delivered tidings of comfort and joy to generations, and we’re diving into its fascinating history and the biblical message it conveys.

I’ll also share a personal story of singing this hymn while caroling with my church and reflect on the scriptural foundation that makes this carol so special, including key verses from Luke 2:10-11 and Isaiah 9:6. Finally, listen to a stirring rendition of God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen from Reawaken Hymns that brings back memories of those Christmas nights spent singing this hymn.

Tune in and journey with me through the history of this beloved hymn!
