O Holy Night<\/p>\n
O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,
\nIt is the night of our dear Saviour\u2019s birth.
\nLong lay the world in sin and error pining,
\n\u2018Til He appear\u2019d and the soul felt its worth.
\nA thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
\nFor yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.<\/p>\n
Fall on your knees!<\/strong> O hear the angel voices! <\/p>\n Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming, He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger,<\/strong> <\/p>\n Truly He taught us to love one another; Christ is the Lord! O praise His Name forever,<\/strong> <\/p>\n Written by:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Wow! What an amazing and moving hymn. How we should praise Him? My question is do we? Do we love Him? Do we worship Him? We should be falling on our knees praising and magnifying the Name of Jesus. He was born to be OUR friend. He came to earth to be born in a stable. The most humbling of births but He did it for us. He came so the weary world could rejoice at His coming and have a hope of being washed from our sins and the opportunity to live with Christ in His home in Heaven. Many people mocked Him. Do we ever mock Him? Do we obey Him with all of our hearts? I must admit, I have a lot of growing yet to do in many areas. But He gives us HOPE. He knows OUR (MY) needs, in OUR (MY) weakness is no stranger.<\/p>\n Can we search our hearts this Christmas time? Are our hearts clean, pure and ready for Jesus to come in? He wants to come into your heart. Listen to your favorite Christmas carol and then kneel down and if you are His child take some time to just praise Him. And if you know you are not ready for Heaven, then stop, kneel down and ask Him into your heart. He is waiting for you to do that!<\/p>\n Fall on your knees, O hear those angel voices and Behold your King! Praise His Name Forever!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
\nO night divine, O night when Christ was born;
\nO night divine, O night, O night Divine.<\/p>\n
\nWith glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
\nSo led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
\nHere come the wise men from Orient land.
\nThe King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger;
\nIn all our trials born to be our friend.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nBehold your King! Before Him lowly bend!
\nBehold your King, Before Him lowly bend!<\/p>\n
\nHis law is love and His gospel is peace.
\nChains shall He break for the slave is our brother;
\nAnd in His name all oppression shall cease.
\nSweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
\nLet all within us praise His holy name.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nHis power and glory evermore proclaim.
\nHis power and glory evermore proclaim.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
