It was written by a Canadian pastor named Joseph Cook. (Today is the 151st anniversary of his birth.) Mr. Cook originally wrote the lines as an entry to a Christmas card competition--which he won! If you enjoy reading about our hymns and their authors, I invite you to check out my daily blog on the subject, Wordwise Hymns. And if you’ll excuse a brief “commercial:” If you do not have a good book on the subject of our Christmas carols, I encourage you to take a look at my own, Discovering the Songs of Christmas. In it, I discuss the history and meaning of 63 carols and Christmas hymns. The book is available through Amazon, or directly from Jebaire Publishing. (Might make a great gift too!)

]]> Comment on Christians, awake, salute the happy morn by Glen http://www.myfamilyevent.com/blog/christians-awake-salute-the-happy-morn/comment-page-1#comment-80 Glen Sun, 07 Nov 2010 02:36:13 +0000 http://www.myfamilyevent.com/blog/christians-awake-salute-the-happy-morn#comment-80 I've been listening to this great hymn today. I downloaded via itunes the track from Washington National Cathedral. I am looking for some way to get the orchestral version performed by Percy Faith and his orchestra. The only one I can find is a YouTube version. Any help would be appreciated. I’ve been listening to this great hymn today. I downloaded via itunes the track from Washington National Cathedral.
