HYMN OF THE MONTH – December: The City of David is Sleeping
-
As part of my series on Catholic hymns, I have chosen a Christmas song appropriate for the Christmas season. This Christmas song was composed by a religious Sister of Mercy who lived more than 30 years ago but the song itself is much older. Please take a moment to read about this wonderful Christmas song.
Please visit my website Mother of Mercy Catholic Hymns and click on HYMN OF THE MONTH.
