From our family to yours...
Wishing you and all of your loved ones
a very ble„ed
and joy filled Christmas
the world's cultural celebrations. What Jesus
brought on Christmas transcends words, but "O
Holy Night," in its beauty, puts to music what
words cannot do justice.
"Looking at the text, I think about how much
we want as human beings what's in this text.
We want his love. We want his gospel of peace.
We want all oppression to cease," Nolen said.
The words and music of "O Holy Night" serve
as poignant a reminder not only of the ultimate
source of true, unbridled love, joy, hope and
peace, but also of humanity's universal longing
for it. This is where the power and significance
of "O Holy Night" ultimately lies.
"In a certain sense, in the humanity of the
people who composed the poem, composed
the music, composed the English translation,
there is a longing that we as human beings have
that is being expressed in this text," Nolen con-
cluded. "Think about when our churches are
most filled. It really speaks in a universal sense
to what we're all longing for, whether we know
it or not, I think that's part of what the popu-
larity of it is, that in 1847, in 1947, and I'll say in
2047, the words are still going to have a personal
meaning to people."
Nativity, Noël Nicolas Coypel, 1728
