O Holy Night!

"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!"

O Holy Night is my favorite Christmas hymn. I love many Christmas songs but this song has always been so powerful to me. We've been playing Christmas music over the last few days at the store I work at and I love it. I can't get enough. When I get in my car I turn it on too. My favorite line of this song is "He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger". This line means so much. Christ does know all of our needs and never falls short of giving us everything we could possibly need and them some. Many of us live far beyond our needs and seem to always want for more. It is our selfish nature. I have a loving Father who has blessed me far more than I could ever deserve.

Merry Christmas to everyone! Enjoy this wonderful time of year and give thanks for the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ!
