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

    Hi Rhoda Just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas. I hope that you have a wonderful time with your family and friends. Did you know that YOU are the reason for the season? It was because of YOU (and all of us )that Jesus came. So when someone says Jesus is the reason for the season, tell them, “no YOU are the reason for the season”. That was our message at church today. Isn’t that an awesome thought? Rhondi xo

    Hi Rhoda….Down here on the lake I sang in the choir for 2 yrs. during our Christmas concert. I can’t say enough about all the joy we got from singing for the Lord. We would ride around in our cars with the CD in , singing away until we got it down perfect. I wish we would do them again…..it is Jesus’s birthday & we should always remember that on Christmas! Thanks for reminding us all…….Bonnie & yes, I believe!

    You don’t know me, I found your blog through the home tour from another blog. Anyway, yes I do believe Jesus is Lord of my life, savior of my soul, creator of the the earth, and God himself. Its so nice to believe that and to be asked if I believe that.

    I love “O Holy Night” too. One of my favorites right along with “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day”

    Merry Christmas to you and your family! It’s been awhile, but I’m trying to catch up and visit all of my blog friends out there!

    Have a wonderful Christmas!

    Blessings to you,
