Certainly inspired, the be loved favorites still retain all tln'ir charm and appeal, probably because of their simplicity- and sincerity whic h generations identify with, through the ages. (Carols are primarily folk songs, even if inotiv'ated by religious impulse. As such, they are often in the popular vein, and some are even com ically unrestrained.

To quote the Saint, writing about hymns by St. .\mbrose: ■'1 wept at the beauty of thy hymns and canticles . . . the truth streamed into my heart; tributed to the treasury of Christmas carols. From th<* <‘arli<*st rec-orded hymns and carols of the -Ith century to the* late 19th century and the present time, the world is richer because of the many heart-felt, sincere expre.ssions of devotion, joy and praise.
