Christmas Carols : O Holy Night
I remember it like it was yesterday, when Celine Dion’s Christmas album came out in 1998. I was 18 years old and I listened to her cd on repeat that Christmas season.
The most beautiful voice singing one of the most beautiful Christmas songs ever written. Two forces combined into one…and I couldn’t get enough of O Holy Night.
Here it is for your enjoyment: Celine Dion : O Holy Night.
O holy night!
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear’d and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here come the wise men from Orient land
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
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
Just 4 days to go until Christmas! I hope as we near the celebration of our Savior’s birth that you await His coming!
