Yes, great stuff. Even better when you’re singing along with Josh Groban’s awesome version. itsnotaboutme on December 25, 2012 at 3:25 PM

O Holy Night is one of my all-time favorite Christmas songs. In fact, I used Josh Groban's version for a little animation I made recently(On that site it is more like directing than animating-my drawing isn't that great). Please check it out if you'd like: O Holy Night I couldn't use the whole song unfortunately because I was limited to two minutes.

Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine, oh night, oh night divine

Long ago, my mother was beyond embarrassed when one of her children had tripped up on stage during our church’s production of the Christmas Story. All six of her kids were in the play as various angels and shepherds and her oldest daughter was Mary. Her middle son had inexplicably tipped over during the beautiful “Oh Holy Night.”

Afterwards, she was happy to see that it didn’t seem to bother my brother one bit that he had disturbed that lovely carol with his big “clunk” noise. In fact, he looked rather pleased with himself.

“Did you see that?” he exclaimedm running up to her. “I was the only one who fell to my knees, like the song said to do!”

That is the literal wonder of a child at Christmas.

Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
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!
His power and glory ever more proclaim!

My favorite Christmas carol. Brings tears to my eyes every time. Thanks, MKH!!!! Besides that, my favorite classical Christmas music is the Nutcracker suite, and my favorite jazz Christmas song is "The Merriest."

My daddy’s favorite Christmas carol…and probably mine, too. Thanks for this lovely post and Merry Christmas.

So beautiful, so “economical”. These Christmas carols- so many of them, this one included, are such a wonderful Blessing; a civilizational treasure.

Merry Christmas, folks.
