Christmas Hymn - Resonet in laudibus - Stone - 12-20-2020
Resonet in Laudibus is a Latin Christmas Carol reflecting on the glory of the Nativity of Christ. Our Lord is born of Mary ever Virgin and, thus, the message of St. Gabriel comes to pass. The children of Israel are called on to rejoice for at last the Messiah has come. Here is the Child who shall be the Savior of mankind, here is the One who will purge all our crimes.
Resonet in Laudibus is a medieval hymn dating to at least the 13th century. Many variations of the song were developed, with some utilizing a single Stanza and others incorporating different Christmas hymns.
