Music to feed your soul: Bocelli "Oh Holy Night"

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

I feel like I'm becoming more religious.

Cantique de Noel

 

[NPT]

Thanks

My favorite Christmas song and sung beautifully.

 

[Sope Creek]

Do not attempt this at home . . .

this is one of those songs - along with Ave Maria and The Lords Prayer - that can be awful if not sung by someone who knows what they're doing and have the pipes to do it.

But when it's done right, it's beautiful.

Thanks for that.

Speaking of which

This guy knew what he was doing. Thanks to Goat for the Bocelli link. I'm a huge fan and that's my favorite Christmas song.

Ave Maria

 

[CO. Hoosier]

Love Christmas Music

The Pav doing "Oh Holy Night"

And this one written by an atheist and sung by the Jewish boy from Brooklyn also has many plays on my IPod.

My favorite Christmas song. Thanks Goat. My daughter

will be home from college on Wednesday and she sings this for me every Christmas Eve, and yes, she has the pipes to sing it. She brings a tear to my eye evey time I hear her sing this song.

I like the French lyrics

I don't recall hearing them before.

I Like THIS One

because "fall on your knees" is the proper order "FALL on your knees."

And the soprano soars at just the right time.

Its a great hymn.


Oh 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 appear'd and the soul felt its 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, on 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
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night, on night divine

O Holy Night

 

[Ladoga]

We have the name

displayed as a phrase, O Holy Night, hand painted by our daughter on a piece of barn siding from the old family farm's barn hanging in our great room at Christmas time - like right now.
