O Holy Night

My All Time Favorite Christmas Song is 'O Holy Night'. I absolutely get goosebumps and chills and 
usually tear up everytime I hear it! 


I think it is such a beautifully written song telling us of our Saviour's birth. Have you ever really read or listened to the lyrics? They are so simple and pure and full of love and promise! 

O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth.
A 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, the night when Christ was born;
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine! 


Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming,
Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friends.
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
 



Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
His power and glory ever more proclaim!


I have the Nat King Cole version downloaded on my iTunes and I absoloutely love it! I love putting it on repeat while I am doing my Christmas baking and decorating. It fills me with sucjh emotion and reminds e what this time  of year is really all about!
