The background of Christian Christmas Thanksgiving songs.

The Christmas Thanksgiving song comes from the 84th carol in the New Anthem, composed by Reverend Lin Shengben, the leader of China Christian holy music. In the autumn of 198 1, a new collection of hymns began to collect poems. Pastor Lin Shengben of the choir met Ren Daling, a colleague who has been engaged in church writing for many years, and encouraged him to write. He mentioned that although there are many Christmas poems, most of them are praise and praise, and there seems to be not much place to express gratitude. Ren Daling nodded yes. So we agreed to work together on a song, with Ren Daling writing the lyrics and Lin Shengben composing the music. On Christmas Day that year, Christian priests in Shanghai celebrated Christmas Day. At the tea party, four colleagues of the choir sang this new creation-Christmas Thanksgiving Song. Shanghai Jinglingtang Choir also sang this poem in Christmas music worship, which was welcomed by colleagues and believers.
