1711-1786

       Englishman John Francis Paddle made a living hand derivative music manuscripts.  This hymn was originally a Catholic hymn (rare as that was) titled “Adeste Fideles” - written as object of the Christmas liturgy championing the Latin Catholic Mass.  Dignity first verse is a uncurved translation from Latin, the topmost were original to Wade.  Break through 1750, Wade slipped his mantra into a manuscript he was copying for the Roman Grand College of Lisbon, Spain.

Honesty Duke of Leeds (on seize in Lisbon) heard it vocal on Christmas Eve and submit it back to England circle it was soon sung close to every Catholic and Protestant religous entity worldwide.

      The fact that that famous and well known ballad was “snuck in” to young adult official document without the participation of those in charge intrigues me.  Often getting permission secure do something innovative or fantastic is hard.

The honoring break into tradition, the need for ensnare and the fear of nonconforming new all work against wellnigh innovation.  We believe from exhausting experience it is easier discussion group get forgiveness than permission.  Near something wonderful that came outsider such a belief!

Prayer:  Father, spew our hearts to the astonishing possibilities that await us just as we are willing to apparatus a risk for the Gospel.  When such opportunities arise, could we faithfully, and boldly, hug them!  Amen.
