December Daily - Day 21

on Wednesday, December 21, 2011

Shh, don't tell, but it's almost Christmas!! This will be baby J's first and even though it'll be a couple of years before she has any clue what's going on, I'm sooo excited! This is the beginning of our own family traditions to continue on for many years to come. Time to start ironing out wrinkles and bringing out the magic of the season. Carols, the true Christmas story and dare I even say it... Santa! :)

Here are the lyrics to one of my favorite Christmas hymns, O Holy Night.

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 soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope,the weary soul rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.

Fall on your knees,O hear the angel voices! O night divine,O night when Christ was born! O night,O holy 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 Orient land. The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger, In all our trials born to be our friend!

Fall on your knees,O hear the angel voices! O night divine,O night when Christ was born! O night,O holy night,O 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!

Fall on your knees,O hear the angel voices! O night divine,O night when Christ was born! O night,O holy night,O night divine!
