The Slave Is Our Brother

Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His Gospel is Peace
Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother
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; O praise His name forever!
His power and glory evermore proclaim
His power and glory evermore proclaim

When I was growing up and singing "O Holy Night" in church every Christmas time, I never considered these words: "Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother." Yet, now, in our prayer walking and with our hearts turned toward Christ's freedom, physical and spiritual, that is exactly what I will be holding in my heart and praying this year.
