Till He Appeared and the Soul Felt its Worth

I was going to save this song for last given that it's a Christmas classic in the true sense of the definition. But after spending the morning in church celebrating the life of my girlfriend Christine's dad who passed away last week and singing along to a number of my favorite hymns including both Ave Maria and Amazing Grace (which, circumstances notwithstanding, always bring me to tears), I thought it would be best to select a proper Christmas hymn today.

"Oh Holy Night" is also a favorite that I share with my mom which makes it even more special for me. While I'm not a fan of Celine Dion and almost went with the Tracy Chapman version, I opted for the traditional rendering. The words, if you take a moment to listen, are beyond compare.

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

It makes me want to drop to the ground and thank God for such an amazing gift. Yes, the weary world rejoices!
