I have an obsession, I actually have lots of them. But, ONE of them is for a certain Christmas song. I have yet to listen to it without my eyes welling up with tears...it's just a really, really touching song, beautiful music and beautiful lyrics. All the Christmas albums I own have been purchased based on the sole requirement that this song is on there and they perform it beautifully. It's sort of like I have a "collection" of this song...it's just THAT amazing to me.
What is it? What is it? Well, it's one that you've heard thousands of times before...but, here it is, O Holy Night...the greatest Christmas song ever!
I wanted to post the lyrics for you today. I hope you take a minute to read them and let them touch your heart. Merry Christmas! I really hope it's wonderful!
O Holy Night
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,
'Til 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! O, hear the angels' voices!
- O night divine, O night when Christ was born;
- O night divine, O 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 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.
- He knows our need, To 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 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.
- Christ is the Lord! O praise His Name forever,
- His power and glory Evermore proclaim.
- His power and glory Evermore proclaim.
Lots of love,

My absolute favorite! Thank you for sharing! I totally get choked up when I read that one, too. My favorite line:
"Long lay the world, in sin and error pining, til He appeared and the soul felt its worth..."

My favorite as well. I think my most favorite version of that song is Josh Groban and I haven't even heard it yet.
I blogged about this song on my blog as well!
