O Holy Night
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth
Long lay the world, in sin and error pining
Till He appeared 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, o hear the angel voices
O night divine, o night, when Christ was born
O night divine, o night, o night divine
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name, all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy, in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy name
Fall on your knees, o hear the angel voices
O night divine, o night, when Christ was born
O night divine, o night, o night divine
Christ is the Lord, O praise His name forever
His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim
Fall on your knees, o hear the angel voices
O night divine, o night, when Christ was born
O o night divine, o night, o night divine

Today’s Devotion
Every time I hear this song, tears stream down my face as I hear and sing the phrase “fall on your knees.” Why? Because this is our Lord, the Lord I love and that came as an innocent babe and brought humanity back to him through his innocent death and amazing teachings. And here he is as a helpless baby, laying in a manager.
To sit and think about Jesus Christ, tears should form, because Jesus coming as a human, let alone a baby, is an unbelievable reality. We all should fall on our knees, every single day at the startling fact of who Jesus Christ is and what he has done for you and me.
I want to provide you the opportunity to prayerfully reflect on the last stanza of this song. Use it as a prayer today as you prepare your heart for the coming King:
“Christ is the Lord, O praise His name forever
His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim
Fall on your knees, oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine, oh night, when Christ was born
Oh oh night divine, oh night, oh night divine”
Yes, Christ is the Lord and we will praise his name forever! His power, glory and love are abundant and evermore. So fall on your knees and worship our King, for he is worthy, worthy indeed!
Happy Christmas Eve, may it be one that you find yourself in awe of just who Jesus Christ is and what he has done for you and this world.
Prayer
God, I pray that we will all fall to our knees in worship of you this season. The majesty and power of your entrance into our world has changed history and each person directly affected by your mercy and grace. God, we look forward to an eternity of praise and exaltation of your mighty acts, and in the meantime, here and now, we look forward to what you will be doing in our lives moving forward. Amen.
