Advent Day 16: O Night Divine

Today another song. O Holy Night, a classic Christmas carol. It highlights the coming of the Christ, the hope that he brought and the world's joyful response. I've included my favorite rendition of this song by three of my favorite performers. We've seen them before in the first post of this Advent season: Phil Wickham & Shane and Shane. 

Oh 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 world 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

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


Sing along with me my friends
