O Holy Night is one of the most well-known Christmas carols reflecting on Jesus' birth and the redemption of humanity.īiblical Inspiration of "O Holy Night" Lyrics Shortly thereafter, Adam wrote the music and the song was first performed in 1857. Even though Cappeau showed no interest in religion, he was asked by the parish priest to write a Christmas poem which he did. Near the end of 1843, a church organ in southern France was renovated. The music for the song was composed by the prolific French composer and music critic, Adolphe Adam and in 1855 the song was translated from French to English by John Sullivan Dwight. O Holy Night was originally written by poet and author Placide Cappeau in 1843 southern France. Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,Ĭhrist is the Lord! O praise His Name forever, He knows our need, to our weaknesses no stranger,Ĭhains shall He break for the slave is our brother Īnd in His name all oppression shall cease.

You'll never get to heaven when you die little girl, You've told me more lies than there's stars in the skies, You told me ten thousand lies little girl, Then I'd never have kissed your red ruby lips, I wish to the Lord that I'd never been born, Well my suitcase is packed and I'm never comin' back, Hang down your pretty head and cry little girl, Look up, look down, that long lonesome road, Well I fall on my knees and I pray to the Lord, Airy area." His source, Calvin Cole (recorded in 1979) of Hillsville, Carroll County, Virginia, called it " Lonesome Road" from the first line of the second verse below.
