Something happened on that Christmas night. What, we don't really understand forever I think. But people understood that it was something. The three wise men - astrologists? - just had to find out what it was. And they travelled far distances to find out. I find that impressive. They had to stop and admire what was seemingly only a little baby. Here comes a beautiful song about it, well known but sung in Norwegian this time. The twins are daughters of a female christian poet. The heritage is there you can see and hear it. "Behold" !
"O Holy Night"
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 rejoyces
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!
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!
Their name forever praise we

O night, O night Divine
Noel, Noel
O night, O night Divine
Noel, Noel
O night, O holy Divine
"O Holy Night"
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 rejoyces
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!
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!
Their name forever praise we
Noel, Noel
O night, O night Divine
