O Holy Night
Il Divo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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! Oh, hear the angel voices
O night divine, oh night when Christ was born

O night divine, oh night, oh night divine

O holy night! The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we

Let all within us praise His holy name

Christ is the Lord
Let everyone in grateful chorus raise we
O night, o night divine
O night divine
O night, o holy night

"O Holy Night"
O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour'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! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, oh night when Christ was born;
O night divine, oh night oh night divine.

O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord
Let ever, ever, praise we
Noel, Noel
O night, o night divine
O night, divine, o night
O holy night

CHRIST IS THE LORD 2:43 , I was randomly searching for this version he nailed it!

@julielarge6120

A beautiful song although Jesus was not born on December 25 and what he did on earth was the most important thing. I'm sorry for the death of one of your talented singers.

@randalcolucci6833

When Carlos sings "Christ is the Lord", I crumble.....especially now that I just learned yesterday (12.23.21) that he succumbed, like too many others, to the China Virus. God Speed, Carlos.
