"Oh Holy Night" (original title: Cantique de Noël) is a sacred song about the night of the birth of Jesus Christ, described in the first verse as "the dear Saviour", and frequently performed as a Christmas carol. Based on the French-language poem Minuit, chrétiens, written in 1843 by poet Placide Cappeau, it was set to music by composer Adolphe Adam. The English version, with small changes to the initial melody, is by John Sullivan Dwight.
Christina Aguilera covered the song for her third album My Kind of Christmas.
Lyrics[]
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, ooh yeah
Oh holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night
Of our dear Savior's birth
Oh yeah
Now long lay the world
In sin and error pining
Till he appeared
And the soul felt it's worth
The 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 night divine
Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy Name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom
The power, and the glory
For ever and ever
Amen
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night
Oh night divine
Oh, yeah, yeah
[laughs]
Oh yeah
No oh, oh yeah
Oh ooh, oh ooh
Now ooh, oh ooh
Oh yeah
It was a holy, holy night
Oh, oh ooh, oh ooh
(Oh holy night)
It was a holy night when Jesus Christ was born
(Oh holy night)
Holy Jesus, Jesus Christ
(Oh holy night)
And the power, and the glory, yeah
(Oh holy night)
When Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
(Oh holy night)
He was born on this night, on this night
(Oh holy night)
Jesus Christ
Forever, and ever, and ever, and ever
(Oh holy night)
