Let Heaven and Nature Sing: Daily Prayers for Advent and Christmas 2024

Grow closer to the Lord this Advent and Christmas as you lift up your voice in song using this unique and inspiring devotional.

From timeless hymns and classics to carols you remember from childhood, Let Heaven and Nature Sing will inspire you to embrace the spirit of the season as you await and prepare for the coming of our Lord and Savior. In just a few minutes each day, immerse yourself in prayer and reflection, guided by the lyrics and music of such seasonal hymns as “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel,” “Ave Maria,” “La Guadalupana,” “O Come, Divine Messiah,” “Dona nobis pacem,” “Silent Night,” “O Come, All Ye Faithful,” “What Child Is This?,” and “Go Tell It on the Mountain.”

With eighteen different songs and various renditions of each, there is something for everyone in this distinctive new devotional that will have you meeting Christ in words, in silence, and in songs—both familiar and new to you. An audio recording of each hymn is easily accessed via a QR code at the end of each devotion, and the complete lyrics of each song are printed in the back of the book for easy reference.

Rooted in the spirituality and traditions of the Congregation of Holy Cross, the founding community of the University of Notre Dame and Ave Maria Press, this book is affordably priced for individual and bulk purchases by Catholic parishes, schools, and other institutions.
