O HOLY NIGHT (LYRICS) O holy night, The stars are brightly shining; It is the night of Our dear Saviors birth! Long lay the world In sin and error pining, Till He appeared And the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope, The weary world 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 divine, O 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 came the wise men From 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 no stranger; O Holy Night is a well-known Christmas carol song composed by Adolphe Adam in 1847 to the French poem Minuit, chrétiens by Placide Cappeau, an accomplished amateur. Placide Cappeau obliged and wrote the beautiful words of the hymn. He then realised that it should have music to accompany the words and he approached his friend Adolphe Charles Adams(1803-1856). He agreed and the music for the poem was therefore composed by Adolphe Charles Adams. youtu.be/npSPYxasZeM
