The calm of the night of the Shepherds is suddenly shattered by an anthem of praise for the Creator, announcing the birth of the Christ Child. This is good. This is great! This is joy!
Imagine the amazement of the Angels as they watch their sinless, glorious Lord of Heaven become flesh on earth. Born of a virgin, the helpless infant has come to save fallen humanity.
What grace! What glory! What a choir! What a message!
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
Oh night divine, Oh night when Christ was born;
Oh night, Oh holy night, Oh night when
Christ was born.
