Nancy Wilson - O Holy Night (2001) video free download

"O Holy Night" is a well-known Christmas carol composed by Adolphe Adam in 1847 to the French poem "Minuit, chrétiens" (Midnight, Christians) by Placide Cappeau (1808--1877), a wine merchant and poet, who had been asked by a parish priest to write a Christmas poem. Unitarian minister John Sullivan Dwight, editor of Dwight's Journal of Music, created a singing edition based on Cappeau's French text in 1855. In both the French original and in the two familiar English versions of the carol, the text reflects on the birth of Jesus and of mankind's redemption.

Oh, Holy Night

The stars

Are brightly shining

It is the night of the dear

Saviour'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 rejoices

For yonder breaks a new

And glorious morn

Fall on your knees

Oh, hear the angel voices

Oh, night divine

Oh, night

When Christ was born

Oh, night divine

Oh night

Oh, Holy night

Fall on your knees

Oh, hear the angel voices

Oh, night divine

Oh, night

When Christ was born

Oh, night divine

Oh, night

Oh, Holy night

Oh, night divine

Oh, night

When Christ was born

Oh, night divine

Oh night

Oh, Holy night

Fall on your knees

Oh, hear the angel voices

Oh, night divine

Oh, night

When Christ was born

Oh, night divine

Oh, night

Oh, Holy night
