What Churches Are Singing This Christmas

By Jonathan Howe

Christmastime is likely both the easiest and most difficult time of the year for your music minister. On one hand, there is a list of classic songs to choose from for the musical portion of corporate worship. On the other hand, you can only choose so many songs each week. So paring down the options to a workable set list that mixes well with the sermon can be stressful.

So what songs are being chosen? Well, we checked in with the CCLI charts to see what Christmas songs are the most popular. Here are the 20 most-sung Christmas songs in churches across the US this year:

O Come All Ye Faithful
Joy To The World
Hark The Herald Angels Sing
Angels We Have Heard On High
O Come O Come Emmanuel
Go Tell It On The Mountain
Silent Night
The First Noel
O Holy Night
What Child Is This
Mary Did You Know
Away In A Manger
O Little Town Of Bethlehem
It Came Upon The Midnight Clear
Hark The Herald Angels Sing / King Of Heaven
Come Thou Long Expected Jesus
Angels from the Realms of Glory
Christmas Offering
Angels We Have Heard On High
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

Are these familiar in your church? Which one is your favorite Christmas song?
