It Was A Holy Night

God promised Adam and Eve that one day a woman would bear a Son and that Son would defeat the power of sin and the serpent, Gen. 3:15.

One night an angel came to shepherds, delivering a profound message the world had waited four thousand years to hear.

Luke 2:10-11 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 

[11] For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

It was a Holy Night.

Many years ago in 1847, a composer by the name of Adolphe Adam wrote the words to a powerful Christmas carol.. 

“Oh 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 appear'd and the soul felt its worth.

“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, Oh night Divine.”
