A few days ago I heard somebody on television comment that it was only so many days until Christmas, and so I guess that it's not too soon to post an Advent Worship Song on the Blog. This is a lovely song for congregational or solo singing, but especially good for choral singing. Cantoris, the chorale ensemble who record my worship songs on the Sheer Joy Music label, sing this beautifully on their CD There is Joy, and you can download individual tracks from the major digital download sites such as CD Baby, iTunes and Amazon.
Whatever you choose to do, I hope that you get a great blessing from singing it. The words are printed below:
O Holy Night 4746
O holy night,
The Babe lies in the manger;
O holy night,
He sleeps there in the hay.
O holy night,
He’s watched by mother Mary;
O holy night,
He sleeps till break of day.
O holy night,
The star was brightly shining;
O holy night,
When angels sang their lay.
O holy night,
When shepherds came to worship;
O holy night,
In awe they came to pray.
O holy night,
The kings bowed low before Him;
That holy night,
The Babe smiles as they pray.
O holy night,
The brightest dawn is breaking,
Most holy night!
When Jesus came to stay.
