Lyrics
Oh Holy Night ("Cantique de Noël") is a well-known Christmas carol composed by Adolphe Adam in 1847 to the French poem "Minuit, chrétiens" by Placide Cappeau (1808-1877), an accomplished amateur.
Verse: Oh 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 appear’d and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. Chorus: Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices! Oh night divine, Oh night when Christ was born; Oh night divine, Oh night, Oh night Divine.
