Season Of Joy - 5 - O Holy Night

Season Of Joy -5- O Holy Night

O Holy Night

O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,

It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.

Long lay the world in sin and error pining.

Till He appeared and the Spirit 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!

O night divine, the night when Christ was born;

O night, O holy night, O night divine!

Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.

And in his name all oppression shall cease.

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,

With all our hearts we praise His holy name.

Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,

His power and glory ever more proclaim!

O night divine, the night when Christ was born;

O night, O holy night, O night divine!

O night, O holy night, O night divine!

Oh Holy Night

to open up the music, then sing along with the lyrics:

Silent Night

Silent night, holy night

All is calm, all is bright

Round yon Virgin Mother and Child

Holy Infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace

Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night!

Shepherds quake at the sight

Glories stream from heaven afar

Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!

Christ, the Saviour is born

Christ, the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night

Son of God, love's pure light

Radiant beams from Thy holy face

With the dawn of redeeming grace

Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

Season of Joy

Season of Joy

A Personal message:

Greetings Web Friends!

December is an important month for various reasons.  For many it marks the end of the year and if you should fall believe the end of the world will come on specific date this month; well, here’s a reason to rejoice while you can. Seriously though, in the Northern Hemisphere we are now cast to the whims of winter’s frigid temperatures. Soon the icy, bone chilling winds will be accompanied by torrential hail or snowfall that will cover the ground with pristine white that will subsequently become slush and ice.

Walking or driving will be arduous and many will choose to stay indoors huddled around their warm fireplaces, TVs or computers, braving the cold only to indulge in mall shopping. Christmas celebrations have evolved and adopted many of the earlier pagan winter celebrations and festivities.  Tree decorations for instance are derived from those ancient times and in some households the Christmas tree forms the nucleus of the winter activities.

 Not everyone is able to accompany the migrating birds, escaping to the land of warmth and sun; and not everyone sees fit to embrace the challenge of outdoor sports: skiing, snowboarding and tobogganing. Perhaps only a brisk walk would be in order, a thoroughly wonderful venture. For those of us that can’t do without the exercise, there is an option of indoor sports whether in gyms or vast indoor arenas. Some may simply go out to enjoy a pleasant afternoon or evening at the movies,  theaters or concert halls.

Meanwhile mankind has adapted to the dimmed light and early nights on this frigid winter’s months by embracing the delightful tradition of decorating the outdoors with many colored lights which help to lift our spirits.  So in this multicultural world, anyone can enjoy these sorts of festivities without qualm. Because of LED lights the dreary winter months are now transformed into wonderland of glowing colors without the worry of electrical expense.  Music has always been a good initiator of joy to during these months.

Winter is upon us, but we need not hibernate. We can continue to enjoy every moment by celebrating life.

Periodically for the month of December I should like to post the lyrics of Seasonal songs alongside their music. Please feel free to sing along and to spread the joy, peace and love of this season.

Click on the music:

then read these lyrics to sing along:

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side

The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh yeah

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
