In O Holy Night, we see the arrival of Jesus in beauty and clarity, and throughout the Gospels, whenever Jesus arrives, everything changes: worth is restored, the unclean are made clean, and death is turned into life. This is what happens when Jesus comes—a weary world rejoices! At Christmas, we remember His first arrival as we also look forward to His second coming, the ultimate end of all death, darkness, and brutality. This is why we sing at Christmas: His power and glory evermore proclaim!
