0:00:00 Background of O Holy Night
Hear the background story of the Christmas song, O Holy Night. It has been recorded by many people and is a Christmas favorite. Delve in deeper to the meaning of the song inside this video.

0:02:25 English Translation:
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;

Chorus
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.

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 come the wise men from Orient land,
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger,
In all our trials born to be our friend;

Chorus
He knows our need, To our weakness no stranger!
Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King! your King! before him bend!

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!

Chorus
Christ is the Lord, then ever! ever praise we!
His pow'r and glory, evermore proclaim!
His pow'r and glory, evermore proclaim!

0:06:20 Direct translation of the French Lyrics

Midnight, Christians,
It's the solemn hour
Where the Man God came down to us
To erase the original stain
And of His Father to stop the wrath.
The whole world trembles with hope
In this night which gives him a Savior.
People on their knees, wait for your deliverance!
Christmas! Christmas! Here is the Redeemer!
Christmas! Christmas! Here is the Redeemer!

The Redeemer
Breaks down any obstacle:
The earth is free and the sky is open.
He sees a Brother or was only a slave,
Love unites those who were chained by iron.
Who will tell Him our gratitude?
It is for all of us that He is born,
May He suffer and die.
People standing, sing your deliverance!
Christmas! Christmas! Sing the Redeemer!
Christmas! Christmas! Sing the Redeemer!
