Christmas has been inspiring composers of music for hundreds of years. The musical results then inspire the rest of us.
Johann Sebastian Bach was himself inspired by the God of the Bible. His music was "the expression of a unitary … world view, in which all beauty … was sacred because God was one, both Creator and Redeemer.""The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul." —J.S. Bach
Here is beauty from his Christmas Oratorio, to glorify God and refresh your soul.
