O Holy Night

“O Holy Night”

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.
The thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees, Oh, hear the angel voices
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night divine, O night, O night divine,
The thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees, Oh, hear the angel voices
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night divine, O night, O night divine,
O holy night

This is one of my favorite Christmas carols. I love to hear it strongly & passionately sung. If traditional Christmas carols proclaiming Christ’s birth are ever done away with, it will be a sad day indeed.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas this season. May the peace that passes all understanding fill your hearts this Christmas. For this Holy Night changed the world and we can all believe and accept the gift that this tiny baby brought to the world…the gift of eternal life.

John 3:16 & 17: For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God did not send his son to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

Do you believe? Beautiful Christmas card that Kari (Just Livin’ Large) sent me

    Beautiful post, Rhoda! “O Holy Night” stires something deep inside my heart, too. I played it on the piano earlier and just love to add emotion as I play.

    May you and yours be blessed with the peace and love of Christmas,
    Rose

    Sometimes life gives us a glimpse of something so incredibly beautiful, that it is beyond the power of words to describe, something so wonderful and so exquisite, that all we can do is let our emotions and our hearts express what words cannot. The result is goosebumps and rivers of joyful tears. This is the voice and beauty of Jackie Evancho. In this wonderful Christmas CD Jackie gives us a little glimpse of Heaven as she sings “O Holy Night” in a voice so pure and clear it is like fine crystal. Her rendition is the best I have ever heard, and I predict that it will be broadcast and played in homes all across America this Holiday season. Just four tracks and a DVD of her previous appearances, but it is not to be missed. I highly recommend it.
