O Holy Night - Straight No Chaser

This version of O Holy Night quickly became my favorite version after I heard Straight No Chaser live for the first time back in 2009. This was their encore then and when Chelsea and I saw them in 2012. Both times they came back out for this song without their microphones; you could've heard a pin drop in the audience. Hearing this song again this year was so amazing. They streamed their concert on Monday, December 22, 2014 and I definitely listened to the replay of the live stream to hear what we missed the first time, but especially to get those chills again. Jerome really knows how to sang (sic).


Here is a taste of what it is like live:



Here is the full version of the song from the album:


Lyrics


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 appeared 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, oh night divine

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, oh night divine

Oh holy night, oh holy night, oh yeah
Oh holy night, oh holy night, oh yeah
Oh holy night, oh holy night, oh yeah

Songwriters
ADAM, ADOLPHE
