‘O, Holy Night’ (John Berry)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

My friend “Ohio Chess Fan” posted this on my chess forum at Chessgames.com–O Holy Night, sung by John Berry.

Only God the Father would have looked on the sins and sufferings of this world and thought of sending not an army, but a baby in a manger, to save it.

Thank you, Lord, for giving us another Christmas! Every one of them is fresh and new. Please bless this Christmas season of 2018 and give it extraordinary power to draw our hearts to Jesus Christ, our Savior and our rightful King. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

‘O Holy Night’ (Andre Rieu)

If you went over to my aunts’ house anytime around Christmas, Andre Rieu was on their TV. They couldn’t get enough of his Christmas specials. I like to remember this.

Anyhow, here he is with his Johann Strauss orchestra–Andre Rieu, O Holy Night: dedicated to Gertie, Millie, and Joan.

By Request, ‘O Holy Night’ (Emer Barry)

We have this request from Joshua, to start the day–O Holy Night, sung by Emer Barry, backed up by Affiniti and the Palestrina Boys Choir.

Come on, now folks–hymns are part of our arsenal, with which we wage spiritual warfare against the evils of this age: they can save souls. Let’s muscle up on those Christmas Carol Contest entries.

Justin’s brother, Jeremy, enters our Christmas Carol Contest with this request: O Holy Night, by Il Divo.

So far, What Child Is This? continues to lead with 22 views on the day it was posted. I don’t know–is that a lot of views? Well, we’ll find out, I guess.

By now I’ve listened to and posted four Christmas hymn requests this morning, and my heart is stirred. I can’t listen to Pavarotti sing Christmas without my eyes filling up. It’s OK; it’s a tribute paid to the Lord.

Requested by “SlimJim”–I hope you don’t mind that he sings this French carol in the original French: besides which, he was in Montreal at the time.

Erlene has requested O Holy Night, and I’m sure she won’t be the last to do so, between now and Christmas. I opted for this performance by Luciano Pavarotti and Placido Domingo, two guys who knew a bit about singing. I’m not ashamed to tell you Pavarotti moved me to tears.

Our esteemed colleague “Ohio Chess Fan” posted this on my chess page this morning–we haven’t overdone it with O Holy Night, have we?

We’re trying, here, to fill the air with Christmas music celebrating the historical truth that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Don’t be afraid to request a hymn that’s already been posted! Step right up and help us make a joyful noise unto the Lord.

‘O Holy Night’ ( Andre Rieu)

It used to be, whenever I went to my aunts’ house around Christmastime,  they were watching this guy on television–Andre Rieu, with his Johann Strauss Orchestra. They loved him.

Well, now I can’t go there anymore. The very house has been torn down and replaced, no sign remaining that it ever existed, and they’ve all gone on before, leaving but a few of us on the earth. Aunt Joan is the last of us in her generation.

I will not forget. Hard for me to watch this video, but I wouldn’t want to miss it: the happy times that were shall be again, in Christ’s Kingdom. God has promised it.

‘O Holy Night’ (Josh Groban)

Erlene called for this one–O Holy Night, sung by Josh Groban–and it’s just beautiful. Open a window and turn up the volume. The world needs to hear God’s message of salvation.

The clips are from a film called The Nativity Story.

Like another song says, Go tell it on the mountain–that Jesus Christ is born!

Linda asked for O Holy Night, and I chose this rendition by Celtic Woman: very nice, don’t you think?

On the youtube page for this hymn we find several “I’m-an-atheist-but” comments, saying how much they love the music. We sigh. They’re like people standing outside a bakery,  loving the aroma that comes drifting out–and declaring that there’s no such thing as cake.

Come in and taste that the Lord is good!
