Long time ago in Bethlehem So the Holy Bible say Mary’s Boy Child, Jesus Christ Was born on Christmas Day! While shepherds watched their flocks by night They saw a bright new shining star And heard a choir from heaven sing The music came from afar Hark! Now hear the angels sing: “New King’s born today And man will live for evermore Because of Christmas Day!” Now Joseph and his wife Mary Came to Bethlehem that night. They found no place to bear her Child, Not a single room was in sight. Hark! Now hear the angels sing: “New King’s born today And man will live for evermore Because of Christmas Day!” By and by they found a little nook In a stable all forlorn. And in a manger cold and dark Mary’s little Boy/Child was born Trumpets sound and angels sing, Listen to what they say! That man will live forevermore Because of Christmas Day! Sing away my dear sister , sing away . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was as if I was there with the Angels singing 2000 years ago announcing the arrival of Jesus, the tears were tears of Joy that I had never felt before, Not like this, as if I was there 2000 years ago rejoicing at His coming. Here are the Lyrics, I will highlight the lyrics where, and when in the song I saw this, This was for me, Quite miraculous. All I Knew from memory was the first verse so that is what I was singing over again as this happened. 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 appeared and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope, the weary soul 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 divine, oh, night, oh, night divine! Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand. So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming, Here came the wise men from Orient land. The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger, In all our trials born to be our Friend! He knows our need—to our weakness is no stranger. Behold your King; before Him lowly bend! Behold your King; before Him lowly bend! 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! Christ is the Lord! Oh, praise His name forever! His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim! His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim! https://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Oh_Holy_Night/ I Don't know How to explain it, but I was transported in the Spirit to the fields like the shepherds that Holy Night, Hearing the angel voices, and rejoicing with them. I Pray this blesses any who read this. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great choice. I decided to post all the lyrics, as this song has such rich content. Btw, have a blessed Christmas. "Come Thou Long Expected Jesus" Come, thou long expected Jesus Born to set thy people free From our fears and sins release us Let us find our rest in thee Israel's strength and consolation Hope of all the earth thou art Dear desire of every nation Joy of every longing heart Joy of every heart Born thy people to deliver Born a child and yet a King Born to reign in us forever Now thy gracious kingdom bring By thine own eternal spirit Rule in all our hearts alone By thine all sufficient merit Raise us to thy glorious throne You draw the hearts of shepherds You draw the hearts of kings Even as a baby, You were changing everything You called me to Your Kingdom Before Your lips could speak And even as a baby, You were reaching out for me And now we are awaiting The day of Your return When every eye will see You As heaven comes to earth Until the sky is opened Until the trumpet sounds The bride is getting ready The church is singing out Come, thou long expected Jesus Born to set thy people free From our fears and sins release us Let us find our rest in thee Come, thou long expected King Interesting info on this- Notes Scripture References: st. 1=2 Cor. 4:14, Rev. 3:21 st. 3-4 =Isa. 61:1-2, Luke 4:18-19, Rom. 6:22 Charles Wesley wrote this Advent hymn and printed it in his Hymns for the Nativity of our Lord (1744). Like so many of Wesley's texts, "Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus" alludes to one or more Scripture passages in virtually every phrase. The double nature of Advent is reflected in this text, in which we remember Christ's first coming even while praying for his return. Stanzas 1 and 2recall Advent prophecies in the Old Testament; stanza 3 speaks of Christ's birth and kingdom, and stanza 4 is a prayer for Christ's rule in our hearts. Liturgical Use: Advent; Christmas and Christmas carol/lesson worship services; worship that stresses the second coming. --Psalter Hymnal Handbook 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are similar to hymns in that they draw our focus to the Lord and praising Him. Amen. And Merry Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bright angels are singing For Heaven's Light is lying in a manger bed Sweet Mary, she kisses His head and sings a lullaby O boundless mercy of God, beautiful mystery! The braying donkeys sheep and birds of the air And shepherds and sages all have come this night To welcome Him, redeemer of the world (chorus) Oh blessed night! Bright angels are singing For Heaven's Light is lying in a manger bed Sweet Mary, she kisses His head and sings a lullaby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
