Fall on Your Knees
Fall on Your Knees |
If we could truly understand the depths of the Love the Father has for us; the Love of Jesus Christ who died for our sins and rose to be in relationship with us forever, the Holy Spirit who lives in us here on earth, this last carol of Christmas becomes our forever proclamation and song of praise. After all is said and done, Christmas Eve preparations are final, we sit after all the hustle and bustle is complete, we fall on our knees and worship - Jesus Christ, our Savior. History: "O Holy Night"In 1847, a French parish priest asked a local poet to write a Christmas carol, which quickly spread throughout France. The hauntingly beautiful “O, Holy Night” was an instant hit, but the French church soon banned it when they discovered the author was a socialist and the composer Jewish. But people continued to sing it, and in 1871, on Christmas Eve during the Franco-Prussian War, a French soldier ran out of his trench unarmed and began to sing this carol. Silence fell and when he was finished, a German soldier came out and sang a favorite German carol. A Christmas ceasefire followed. LYRICS:
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 world 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! 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. Christ is the Lord! O praise His name forever! His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim! His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim! Merry Christmas to you all! Christine
