"O Holy Night" (originally called "Cantique de Noël") is a beautiful Christmas Carol normally sung on Christmas Eve. This prayerful carol sung by a soloist with piano and lyrics, reflects on the birth of Jesus as humanity's redemption.

O Holy Night is based on an 1843 French-language poem by poet Placide Cappeau that composer Adolphe Adam set to music in 1847. The English version is by John Sullivan Dwight. The version sung in this video was arranged by Sally DeFord.

Recorded by the Saturday 5pm Choir at St. Francis de Sales Parish in Ajax, Ontario, Canada. Thanks for listening and God bless!

Lyrics:

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 appears and the soul felt its worth

A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices
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, O Holy night, O night divine!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here come Wise Men from the Orient land

The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend

He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend

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 ever more proclaim
His power and glory ever more proclaim
