Love the Look Leonardo Gave Grandmother

The Virgin and Child with St. Anne, Leonardo da Vinci
St. Anne has that proud Grandma smile. Just noticed Mary is sitting on Anne's lap, and all their toes are perfect. Oh that Da Vinci!


Here is a lovely rendition of O Holy Night from our Canadian friend Celine. I love the lyrics as well as the music.

O HOLY NIGHT - A CHRISTMAS CAROL BY CELINE DION 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npSPYxasZeM 

 

O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Spirit 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 angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming,
Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friends.
He knows our need, 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 he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
His power and glory ever more proclaim!

...and the soul felt its worth...

Nativita, Giotto @1305

These lyrics are so beautiful, every year my weary world rejoices. Tradition says St. Francis of Assisi created the nativity scenes (creche) and wrote this song. I don't know, but it seems like something he might do, being the poet he was. This artist, Giotto, was a contemporary of St. Francis.

I double dog dare any angel to hit a brighter, higher note than Mariah in this rendition.

"O Holy Night"



O Holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til 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

O hear the angel voices
O night divine!
O night when Christ was born
O night divine!
O night, O night divine!

[Choir:]
Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains He shall 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!
Their name forever praise we
