Christmas Song Countdown #2: O Holy Night

So I'm a bit late posting this today.  This is the favorite carol of many people I know.   Josh Groban's version is one of the best, up there with Michael Crawford, Celine Dion, David Phelps and others.  I love the second verse...

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!

Most versions have "Noel! Noel! O Night, O Night Divine!" at the end of the second verse, but versions like Chris Tomlin's actually sing "His power and Glory ever more proclaim."  I didn't use Tomlin's version since he'll be featured in tomorrow's final carol.  The second verse really captures what Christmas is about - the birth of our savior - and what that means for us today.  

Merry Christmas!

O Holy Night
