Last night I picked up a book called O come all ye Faithfull. It is a book that tells you the history of a couple of Christmas carols. Coming to the first song in the book "O Come all ye faithful I was reading and singing along to the song. When I came to the second verse of this song which is:
God of God, Light of Light;
lo, he abhors not the vigins womb:
very God, begotten, not created;
Then it goes on with the chorus and follows on with the 3rd and 4th verses. It suprised me that this verse is left out when we hear it sung whether it is in a church or Christmas caroling. It represents that Christ did not mearly appear or was created but that he went through the human way and was born. Take a look the next ime you have the Christmas Carol in front of you.
