Favorite Christmas Songs...

Ok, I'm stealing from my friend.

My favorite Christmas song is "Oh Holy Night". I don't care who sings it, I'm gonna love it. I especially like John Berry's version (below). My favorite hearing of it was at Auburn First Baptist when my good friend Jon had the choir director add it to their list just because he knew I loved it. I absolutely love the fall on your knees part which isn't good when you are listening in the car. :)

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 Spirit felt its worth.

A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angels' voices!
O night divine, Holy 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 came the wise men from the Orient land.

The King of kings lay in lowly manger;
With all our trials born to be our friends.
He knows our need, to our weakness no stranger,
Behold your King! Before the lowly bend!
Behold your King! Your King Before him bend!

A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees and hear the angels' voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born;
O night divine!O night, O night divine!
