"An angel of the Lord appeared…and…said to them, 'Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord.'" Luke 2:8-11 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 appeared and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. Refrain Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices! O night divine, O night when Christ was born! O night, O holy night, O 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 came the wise men from Orient land. The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger, In all our trials born to be our friend! Refrain 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! Refrain One of my favorite Christmas hymns! How humbling it is to know that Christ gave up His heavenly glory to live among us and to die for our sins. Celebrating Christmas and Jesus's birth is ultimately celebrating the salvation He offers to all of us! The sacrificial love that Christ showed to us when He died for us should be the same love the we all need to share with each other. Take the time this Christmas to be with friends and family and even strangers and show them that love. What better gift could there be than that? Merry Christmas!
