Oh Holy Night

When I was in High School, four of us went downtown to sing Christmas carols outside The Bay. They were paying us as a fund raiser for the school choir. We sang every Christmas tune we knew, working our way through our song book. An older lady stopped to listen, and requested O Holy Night. None of us knew it, but she looked so tired and so hopeful that we couldn’t say no. We found it in the songbook and fumbled our way through it, very badly, I suspect. But her face lit up with such joy that it’s been one of my favorites ever since.
