ADORE - O Holy Night

The best Christmas songs are not about snow or Santa Claus. The best songs are about the true Christmas, the first Christmas. That’s why this year’s theme is ADORE, the music and the message of Christmas. We love singing Christmas songs because they allow us to sing the story of our faith. “Joy to the world, the Lord is come … Silent night, holy night … O come, all ye faithful … O come, let us adore Him.”

For the last 2,000 years, Jesus has been worshiped in grand cathedrals and in little country churches. He has been praised by gospel choirs and rock bands. His name has been lifted up in every language, in every nation, and in every generation. This Christmas Eve, we would like to share the story behind one of the greatest Christmas songs – “O Holy Night.” Here is the story of a song written 174 years ago that we still love and sing today.
