"The first Noel, the angel did say was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay..."
This is one of the five carols that I will be teaching my Sunday school children. I intend to clarify something that vexed my childhood. For years - and when I say "years", I mean between the age of 5 and say 24 - I couldn't figure out what the verb to certain meant. You see, I thought of those two words as a verb phrase...therefore confusing me. I remember thinking, maybe it's something they did in Bible times. To certain.
Make no mistake - I won't let my Sunday school children wonder. I intend to clarify the lyrics of all the carols we are learning.
We are learning...
The First Noel
I Wonder as I Wander (is that the real name?)
Joy to The World
Hark! the Herald Angels Say
Silent Night
