Throwback Thursday, Christmas Edition: Adeste Infideles?
Note: This was originally published December 18, 2023. — Ed.
This is a tale of two hymns. One, a traditional text written in Latin, popularly sung in many languages at Christmas around the world, including in our own churches: O Come, All Ye Faithful (LSB 379). The other, a modern-day adaptation called O Come All You Unfaithful.
The contrast between the original hymn and its contemporary riff is illustrative - especially given the accompanying videos.
