Verse 1:
BO holy night, Ethe stars are brightly Bshining;
It is the night of the F#mdear Savior’s biBrth!
BLong lay the wEorld in sin and error Bpining,
Till He appBbeared and the soul felt its D#mworth.
F#mA thrill of hope, Bthe weary soul rejoices,
F#mFor yonder breaks Ba new and glorious morn.
Chorus:
G#mFall on your D#mknees, O C#mhear the angel G#mvoices!
BO night F#mdivinBe, EO nBight F#mwhen Christ was Bborn!
Verse 2: (same as verse 1)
Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His Gospel is peace.
Chains He shall 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!
G#mChrist is the D#mLord! ThC#men ever, ever prG#maise we,
BHis poF#mwer and Bglory eEver more procBlaim!
Chorus: (same as before)
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!

The story behind the song

This sacred song, "O Holy Night," is deeply connected to the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Its origins trace back to an 1847 French poem, written after a priest requested a new text for Christmas Midnight Mass following a church restoration. The poem itself draws on themes from the Nativity of Jesus and reflects the author's social and abolitionist views. An English version, which notably changed some of the original French meaning, helped make it a Christmas standard. Playing this song channels the profound reverence and joy of the Christmas story.
