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! Oh, hear the angels’ voices!
Oh night divine! Oh night when Christ was born.
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.
Christ is the Lord! O praise His Name forever,
His power and glory evermore proclaim.
We are off to start the festivities with a children’s choir vigil mass.
Have a blessed Christmas Eve and Christmas!
