O Holy Night

Listen now

Description

What do a French wine merchant, a penniless Parisian, and a liberal clergyman have in common? One of Christianity's holiest hymns about the birth of Jesus. O Holy Night came to us from the French wine merchant, Placide Clappeau, who wrote poetry as a hobby. Adolphe Charles Adam provided the music to "Christian Midnight" and when it was eventually translated into English, we are lifted in praise and worship to O Holy Night. It seems that almost every artist who does a Christmas album includes O Holy Night. It is powerful and declares the glory of God in Christ's birth.
