Faith Filled Friday: Oh Holy Night by Eisley

This year "Oh Holy Night" has become my favorite Christmas song.  While there are many lovely versions, this version by a group named Eisley really captures me.  I don't even know this group.  The lead singer, Sherri DuPree-Bemis, doesn't exactly have a classical singing voice, but lower female register combined with a sort of scratchy voice makes this rendition distinct.  It sounds so true.




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!

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! Oh praise His name forever,
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
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!
