O Holy Night
Wynonna Judd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It is the night of our 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 soul 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
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 divine
O night divine
Wynonna Judd's song O Holy Night is a powerful and moving hymn that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. The first verse paints a beautiful picture of the setting on the night of Christ's birth. The author speaks of the stars shining brightly, setting the scene for the arrival of the Savior. The second line, "It is the night of our dear Savior's birth," emphasizes the importance of this event, indicating that this was the night that would change the world for good. The third line is a reference to the time before Christ's arrival, where the world was filled with sin and error. The fourth line is a beautiful sentiment that talks about Christ's arrival, which made many souls feel their worth.
The second verse continues with the theme of hope that resonates throughout the song. The first line, "A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices," sets the tone for the rest of the verse. The use of the word 'thrill' highlights the power of hope in changing people's lives. The second line, "For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn," further emphasizes the hope that comes with Christ's birth. The verse then ends with a powerful call to action: "Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices." This line is a reminder that Christ's birth was not just an event but something to be celebrated through action. The hymn ends with a repetition of the phrase "O night divine," which is a beautiful way of expressing gratitude and awe at the miraculous event being celebrated.
