This week the Daily Pause will take on a little different format fitting for the season we are in. Each day we will open with prayer to immerse in the presence and love of God … then we will engage with a well-known Christmas Carol, hearing something of the story behind the carol as well as the deep soul stirring theology of the lyrics. We will get to embrace these age tested songs in a fresh way giving the Holy Spirit ample space time and truth to restore our souls in this unique season.

Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child.
Holy Infant, so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight;
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heav'nly hosts sing, Alleluia!
Christ, the Savior is born!
Christ, the Savior is born!
Silent night, holy night!
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.
