Day 15/Track 15 O Holy Night

Author: Placide Cappeau, 1843

Tune: Cantique De Noel

Scripture:

O Holy Night came from a poem , written in 1843. The poem was commissioned by a parish priest to celebrate the renovation of the church’s organ. Poet, Cappeau, wrote a poem, for the celebration that went on to inspire a song that has touched countless lives.

I’m imagining the poet, as he struggled to find just the right words to convey what his heart was trying to express. He persevered and deliver a poem aimed to celebrate a moment at his church. He couldn’t have known the impact his poem would have on the world. Divine inspiration, like a kind word delivered with love, can create beauty. There are moments in this song that always bring tears to my eyes.

How would you describe the impact this song has on your heart?
