O Holy Night - Michael Deal
Lyrics...
released in November 2001
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til he appeared and the soul felt it's 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!
Oh night divine, oh night when Christ was born!
Oh night divine, oh night, oh night divine!
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, let ever, ever praise we
Noel, noel! Oh night, oh night divine!
Noel, noel! Oh night, oh night divine!
Noel, noel! Oh night, oh night divine!
The words and lyrics of the old carol 'O Holy Night' were written by Placide Cappeau de Roquemaure in 1847. Cappeau was a wine seller by trade but was asked by the parish priest to write a poem for Christmas. He obliged and wrote the beautiful words of the hymn. He then realised that it should have music to accompany the words and he approached his friend Adolphe Charles Adams(1803-1856).
