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
Til 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 divine
Our father
Who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day
Our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those
Who trespass against us
And lead us not
Into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom, the power, & the glory forever & ever
Amen
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night, when christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night
Oh holy, holy night!
Oh holy night when jesus christ was born
Ohh
Oh holy night
Jesus Christ
The power and the glory! (oh holy night)
Jesus christ
Jesus christ! (oh holy night)
He was born on this night, holy night
Jesus christ
Forever and ever
Forever and ever

Meaning & Inspiration
Christafari presents O Holy Night as a celebration of the birth of Jesus and the hope associated with his arrival. The familiar opening moves from a world burdened by sin toward joy, reverence, and adoration. Calls to fall on the knees and hear the angelic announcement frame the nativity as a divine event worthy of worship. The repeated naming of Jesus keeps the closing section centered on Christ rather than on holiday sentiment alone.
This version also incorporates the Lords Prayer, broadening the song from remembrance of Bethlehem into prayer for Gods kingdom, daily provision, forgiveness, and deliverance. Luke 2:10-14 closely matches the songs imagery of good news, the Saviors birth, and heavenly praise. Matthew 6:9-13 provides the prayer quoted in the middle section, while John 1:14 offers a fitting biblical connection to the wonder of God dwelling among humanity. The result joins Christmas proclamation, prayer, and praise in one continuous confession.
