O Holy Night is my favorite Christmas hymn. There is something so moving about the words of this song. With this being my last post before Christmas I just want to share the lyrics with you. Please focus on each word, each line, each verse. Let it sink into your heart and take a piece of it with you this week remembering Christ is the reason!
O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
'Til He appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! O, hear the angels' voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born;
O night divine, O night, O night Divine.
Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy, in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise his holy name!
.
Christ is the Lord, let ever, ever praise we
Noel, noel! Oh night, oh night divine!
Noel, noel! Oh night, oh night divine!
Noel, noel! Oh night, oh night divine!

"And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Luke 2:8-12

Merry Christmas to each and every one of you!
