I've known this song since I was a child. I've always thought "O Holy Night" sounded powerful when sung by a choir. I've sung the lyrics a thousand times. Somehow, I never actually let the lyrics soak in.
This year, I did.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til He appeared, and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
WOW.
That's the hope of Jesus right there. Just packed right into a few lines of a song. I've never seen such a powerful statement in so few words.
