O Holy Night

O holy night the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Saviour’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 world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born

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
Let all within us praise His holy Name

Christ is the Lord
O praise His Name forever
His power and glory
Evermore proclaim
His power and glory
Evermore proclaim

Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night divine

No other religion has a God sacrificing himself to his people…usually it’s the other way around. God bless everyone reading this and those that aren’t.



What charlatan would announce his coming being born in the filth and disgrace of a barn amongst livestock and shepherds? Who would believe that a king would be born of such disgrace and pitiful poverty?

If I was to fabricate a story of a savior, I would skip the poverty and disgrace to make it more palatable, yet we are here on Christmas Eve.
