O Holy Night was the #3 most recorded Christmas song between 1978 and 2014 according to a Time Magazine study of copyright information for that 35 year period. It's clearly one of our favorites.
The song has an interesting back story. The words contain a wealth of gospel content. Singing it leads most of us into meaningful worship. Its worth our time to see what the words convey so that we might sing it with deeper meaning this Christmas.
