When our souls are weary, we turn to music—for cathartic release, to kindle the joy within us, to connect us to one another. Here we’ve collected hymns and songs that work well with our new Advent series, How does a weary world rejoice? We’ve outlined a list of recommendations for each week in Advent through Baptism of the Lord Sunday. We hope these lists help you plan meaningful worship services this season. Be sure to check out our Spotify playlist as well!
(Notes about licensing: While we do not own the licensing rights to these songs—other than the original hymns written specially for this series—we have linked to more information about the hymnals containing these songs or to other licensing options. Since U.S. law does not allow churches to “broadcast” recorded music without a particular license to do so—including music played in YouTube and Facebook live services—we encourage you to share recorded songs with your congregation by sharing a link to the video or our Spotify playlist in bulletins, emails, or social media to avoid copyright strikes in livestream worship.)
