It's that time of year again . . .

December 1st means the start of advent, Christmas music and angel icons.  ;-)

The "Name that Christmas Tune" rules are as follows:  No Googling unless 24 hours have passed without a correct answer.  Today's entry:

A thrill of hope,
The weary world rejoices

Within two minutes of each other, and about ten minutes of this post hitting LJ, chez_mathilde and pascual_del_mar correctly ID'd this as "O Holy Night."

O, Holy Night
The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth....

A thrill of hope,
The weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Faaaallll on your kneeeeees,
Oh hear the angel voices,
O ni-ight divine!
O-o night,
When Christ was boooorn,
Oh night divi-ine,
Oh night divine.

(all this off the top of my head; too many bad memories from singing in the First Methodist Church Choir.) :-)

Oh Holy Night

Yes, but my description of how this song sounds when sung by amateurs is truly better.

It's Hard to type the SouthPark version where Cartman keeps getting electroshock while he sings it.....

That sounds truly entertaining! I'll have to see if I can find that episode. Thanks, Pascual!
