Hey, welcome to the Christmas special for 30 minutes in the New Testament and 40 minutes in the

Old Testament, or 1517 or Christ will fast or whatever

you want to whatever you want to call it this dropped in your feed as a subscriber to one of those two

podcasts and this is a special episode you know the years past we have done Christmas joint episodes

or we had 30 minutes and 40 minutes together but this year we decided to do something entirely

different and not disrupt what we

were doing in the Old and New Testament and just do a standalone episode that will appear in both

feeds where we're going to talk about something Christmas related. Who we have with me is Eric

Sorenson and Chad Bird, of course. And what we're going to talk about on this episode is

Chad's hymn, the infant priest or the infant priest was holy born. Chad, is this Advent hymn as much

as it is a communion hymn, as much as it's a communion hymn you sing typically during Advent?

Yeah, it fits with Advent.

It fits with Christmas too.

It's in the hymnal section.

The hymnal is divided up into not only the very seasons of the church here,

like Advent epiphany, Christmas, so and so forth,

but it's also divided up into kind of thematic sections like baptism,

the Lord's

Supper, end times, things like that. So it's in the Lord's Supper section, but it lends itself

toward being also either an Advent or Christmas hymn. Yeah, so when I usually hear this hymn is

during the season of Advent or Christmas. So I hear it, you know,

December and maybe into January as well.
