Holy Night is a Christmas EP with three original modern takes on Christmas carols, one of which is a short instrumental and my own interpretation of the traditional Christmas hymn O Holy Night
Emmanuel
They journeyed from afar
To Bethlehem they came
Turned away by many a selfish man
Until in a barn a manger lay
A star shone out
To spread the message across the land
To where a baby lay
His name Emmanuel
Jesus Christ is he
Rejoice angels let the world see
Jesus Christ our king
His name Emmanuel
Jesus Christ is he
Rejoice angels let the world see
Jesus Christ our king
His name Emmanuel
A star Shone out
To spread the message across the land
To where a baby lay
His name Emmanuel
Jesus Christ is he
Rejoice angels let the world see
Jesus Christ our king
His name Emmanuel
Glory Came
Through the trials of the journey
Stars that lit angelic choir
There He lay this little baby
Son of God and son of man
Holy host now bow before thee
Acclamation of his birth
A saviour sent for all to follow
The righteous of man on earth
Glory came
Glory came
Glory came
We’ll sing his praise
Glory came
Glory came
Glory came
Jesus born to save
The Lord he came in fragile flesh
To seek and save all by the cross
But on that day he sent from heaven
Our crowning glory in helpless babe
The Lord he came in fragile flesh
To seek and save all by the cross
But on that day he sent from heaven
Our crowning glory in helpless babe
Glory came
Glory came
Glory came
We’ll sing his praise
Glory came
Glory came
Glory came
Jesus born to save
Glory came
Glory came
Glory came
We’ll sing his praise
Glory came
Glory came
Glory came
Jesus born to save
The Lord he came in fragile flesh
To seek and save all by the cross
But on that day he sent from heaven
Our crowning glory in helpless babe
O Holy Night (cover)
​
O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the Spirit 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!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born
O night, O Holy Night, O night divine!
O night, O Holy Night, O night divine!
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming
Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friends
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother
And in his name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
With all our hearts we praise His holy name
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
