Musical Holocron

TikTok user @realityshowreject (L. Rodgers) posted a great ~2 minute video talking about the Christmas hymn Oh Holy Night and how it is an abolitionist Christmas song. She explains more and also sings a beautiful rendition of one verse and chorus.

@realityshowreject Merry Christmas Y’all #fyp #christmas #oholynight ♬ original sound - L. Rodgers

You can read the full lyrics of this song, in a version by CeCe Winans here:

At our house every Christmas, our favorite rendition that must be played on high volume is this one by Josh Groban.

However you celebrate...
