O Holy Night, vocal and guitar, Christmas Song
O Holy Night, or Oh Holy Night is a well known "Christmas song" that was written by Placide Cappeau, who was asked by a priest to write it. He himself was a poet and curiously a socialist and an atheist. Adolphe Charles Adams composed the music. The English translation version is by, John Sullivan Dwight. There are many great versions of this song, it is very popular, however I noticed that most of them only sing one or two verses. I sang all three verses and arranged a simple fingerpicking version for the guitar. Please feel free to sing along with me if you want to and we`ll all celebrate the birth of our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.
Oh Holy Night complete lyrics
Written by - Placide Cappeau
Music composed by - Adolphe Charles Adams
English translation - John Sullivan Dwight
Performed by - Dan D. Dirges
O holy night! the stars are brightly shining;
It is the night of the dear Savior’s 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, O holy night, O night divine!
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 pow’r and glory evermore proclaim!
His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim!
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 is no stranger.
Behold your King, before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King, before Him lowly bend!
