O, Holy
Night
O holy night, the stars are
brightly shining;
It is the night of the 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!
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 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!
Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
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!
Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
Nathaniel Adams Coles
(March 17, 1919 – February 15, 1965), known
professionally as Nat "King" Cole, was an
American
musician who first came to prominence as a leading
jazz pianist.
Although an accomplished pianist, he owes most of
his popular musical fame to his soft
baritone
voice, which he used to perform in
big band
and jazz genres. He was the first black American to
host a television
variety show,
and has maintained worldwide popularity since his
death; he is widely considered one of the most
important musical personalities in United States
history.
