Enjoy this popular Christmas carol that was written by Phillips Brooks (1835–1893), an Episcopal priest, then rector of Church of the Holy Trinity, Philadelphia, and later of Trinity Church, Boston. He was inspired by visiting the village of Bethlehem in the Sanjak of Jerusalem in 1865. Three years later, he wrote the poem for his church, and his organist Lewis Redner (1831–1908) added the music. A blessed Christmas season to everyone! Jesus, the reason for this time of rejoicing!

The Gaither Vocal Band was founded in the early ’80s by renowned Christian music leader Bill Gaither. GVB became one of America’s leading southern gospel vocal groups. While Bill Gaither remained the only original member of the ensemble, many well-regarded CCM/gospel singers have passed through the band’s ranks, including Russ Taff, Guy Penrod, Wes Hampton, Michael English, Mark Lowry, and David Phelps. Today, the Gaither Vocal Band roster is comprised of five power-packed voices, including Bill Gaither, Wes Hampton, Adam Crabb, Todd Suttles and Reggie Smith.

O Little Town Of Bethlehem Lyrics

O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.

For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wond’ring love.
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the King,
And Peace to men on earth!

How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him still,
The dear Christ enters in.

O holy Child of Bethlehem!
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in,
Be born to us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Immanuel!

Changed By A Baby Boy Lyrics

Song by Gaither Vocal Band

Joseph was looking for a place to sleep when his life was changed by a baby boy
And Mary had secrets that her heart must keep
Her life was changed by a baby boy

A host of bright angles tell the shepherd band
Their lives were changed by a baby boy
And when the angel said, go they obeyed the command
Their lives were changed by a baby boy.

And they were glad (so glad)
So glad (so glad)
They were glad, so glad
Their lives were changed by a baby boy

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah
Their lives were changed by a baby boy
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah
Their lives were changed by a baby boy

The kings had to follow a brand new star
Their lives were changed by a baby boy
No matter how long and no matter how far
Their lives were changed by a baby boy
I was searching for something I could not name
My life was changed by a baby boy
I gave Him room and I am not the same
My life was changed by a baby boy
Spoken: He saved my soul and I want you to know that

I was glad (glad)
So glad (so glad)
So glad (so glad)
My life was changed by a baby boy

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah
My life was changed by a baby boy
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah
My life was changed by a baby boy

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah
My life was changed by a baby boy
Hallelujah, hallelujah

My life was changed by a baby boy.

My life was changed by a baby boy
My life was changed by a baby boy
My life was changed by a baby boy
My life was changed by a baby boy

O Holy Night

Song by Bill & Gloria Gaither

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!

Away in a Manger Lyrics

Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down His sweet head

The stars in the sky
Look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing
The poor baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes

I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side
‘Til morning is nigh

Be near me, Lord Jesus
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray

Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care
And take us to heaven
To live with Thee there

Take us to heaven
To live with Thee there

Carrie Underwood’s Spectacular version of “O Holy Night” Carols in the Domain

InFeatured, Gospel Music

WATCH this spectacular performance of Carrie Underwood of “O Holy Night” at the Carols in the Domain. What an angelic voice! Praying that anyone who will watch this performance will be blessed and will be able to understand and meditate the true meaning of Christmas as beautifully described in the lyrics of this song. God bless you.

Carrie Underwood was born on March 10, 1983, Muskogee, Oklahoma, U.S.A.. She is an American country music performer who rose to stardom when she won the American Idol in 2005. She received the top prize of a recording contract with 19 Recordings/Arista Records, and the resulting album, Some Hearts (2005), was a massive commercial hit, eventually selling more than seven million copies and cementing Underwood’s status as one of American Idol’s most successful alumni. In 2007 she won Grammy Awards for best new artist and best female country vocal performance. Carrie returned to American Idol in 2007, performing a cover of the Pretenders’ “I’ll Stand by You.” Made available as a single on Apple’s iTunes service, the song was downloaded more than 300,000 times and became the first digital-only release to crack the top 10 of the Billboard singles chart. At the 2007 Country Music Association (CMA) Awards, Underwood claimed single-of-the-year honours for the feisty revenge song “Before He Cheats.” Her second album, Carnival Ride (2007), sold more than half a million copies in its first week of release, and in early 2008 she was inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry.

O Holy Night Lyrics

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 it’s 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

Truly He taught us
To love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace

Chains shall He break
For His child 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
There name forever praise we
Noel, Noel
O night, O night divine
Noel, Noel
O night, O holy night
