Who wrote o' Holy night
"O Holy Night" / "Minuit, chrétiens"
Full Original French Poem by Placide Cappeau
✞ Verse 1 at pilgrim-on-holyground.com
Minuit, chrétiens, c’est l’heure solennelle
Où l’Homme-Dieu descendit jusqu’à nous
Pour effacer la tache originelle
Et de Son Père arrêter le courroux.
Le monde entier tressaille d’espérance
En cette nuit qui lui donne un Sauveur.
Peuple, à genoux ! Attends ta délivrance :
Noël ! Noël ! Voici le Rédempteur !
Noël ! Noël ! Voici le Rédempteur !
✞ Verse 2 at pilgrim-on-holyground.com
De notre foi que la lumière ardente
Nous guide tous au berceau de l’Enfant,
Comme autrefois une étoile brillante
Y conduisit les chefs de l’Orient.
Le Roi des rois naît dans une humble crèche :
Puissants du jour, fiers de votre grandeur,
A votre orgueil, c’est de là que Dieu prêche.
Courbez vos fronts devant le Rédempteur !
Courbez vos fronts devant le Rédempteur !
✞ Verse 3 at pilgrim-on-holyground.com
Le Rédempteur a brisé toute entrave :
La terre est libre, et le ciel est ouvert.
Il voit un frère où n’était qu’un esclave,
L’amour unit ceux qu’enchaînait le fer.
Qui Lui dira notre reconnaissance ?
C’est pour nous tous qu’Il naît, souffre et meurt.
Peuple, debout ! Chante ta délivrance :
Noël ! Noël ! Chantons le Rédempteur!
Noël ! Noël ! Chantons le Rédempteur!

O Holy Night / Midnight, Christians — Literal English Translation
✞ Verse 1 at pilgrim-on-holyground.com
Midnight, Christians, it is the solemn hour
When the God-Man descended to us
To erase the stain of original sin
And to end the wrath of His Father.
The whole world thrills with hope
On this night that gives it a Savior.
People, kneel down! Await your deliverance:
Christmas! Christmas! Here is the Redeemer!
Christmas! Christmas! Here is the Redeemer!
✞ Verse 2 at pilgrim-on-holyground.com
May the blazing light of our faith
Guide us all to the cradle of the Child,
As in ancient times a bright star
Led the chiefs from the East.
The King of kings is born in a humble manger:
O mighty ones of today, proud of your greatness,
It is from there (the manger) that God preaches to your pride.
Bow your heads before the Redeemer!
Bow your heads before the Redeemer!
V✞ Verse 3 at pilgrim-on-holyground.com
The Redeemer has broken every bound:
Earth is free, and heaven is open.
He sees a brother where once there was only a slave;
Love unites those whom iron had chained.
Who will tell Him our gratitude?
For us all, He is born, suffers, and dies.
People, stand up! Sing your deliverance:
Christmas! Christmas! Sing to the Redeemer!
Christmas! Christmas! Sing to the Redeemer!

O Holy Night Song
Lyrics: John Sullivan Dwight
Music: Adolphe Adam
✞ Verse 1
O holy night! The stars are brightly shining;
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 world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Refrain: O Holy Night full lyrics Music Original at Pilgrim-on-holyground.com
Fall on your knees!
Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine!
O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night!
O night divine!
✞ Verse 2:
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here came the wise men from Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,
In all our trials born to be our Friend.
Refrain: words to o' Holy Night Song Lyrics Original at Pilgrim-on-holyground.com
He knows our need,
To our weakness is no stranger.
Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend!
✞ Verse 3:
Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His Gospel is peace.
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.
Refrain: lyrics for O Holy Night word Original at Pilgrim-on-holyground.com
Christ is the Lord!
O praise His name forever!
His power and glory
Ever more proclaim!
His power and glory
Ever more proclaim!
