Holy Night

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 night divine, Oh night Divine.

-"Oh Holy Night (English Translation)," Adolphe Adam

The swell of this carol never fails to send chills up my spine and tears to my eyes, no matter how many times I hear it.

Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate, happy long weekend to those of you who don't!
