This soulful, gospel-style setting of the favorite carol O Holy Night is a treat for mixed choirs. Gorgeous smooth harmonies and a stylized piano accompaniment bring a freshness to the standard, and the option to feature a soloist for the opening bars helps to establish the style. A lovely arrangement that will shine in both concerts and worship services. - JW Pepper

Who would ever have thought that “O Holy Night” could be set in a gospel style? Well, this is it. Set for mixed chorus with piano, Tim Harbold develops a gospel work that brings new life to this holiday standard. Gospel choirs will love it.  — Hal Leonard
LYRICS

O 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, o hear the angel voices!
O night divine, o night when Christ was born.
O night, o holy night, o night divine!

Truly he taught us to love one another,
His law is love and his gospel is peace.
Chains shall he break, for we all are sisters and brothers,
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.
Christ is the Lord, o praise his name forever.
His pow'r and glory evermore proclaim.

Fall on your knees, o hear the angel voices!
O night divine, o night when Christ was born.
O night, o holy night, o night divine!

— Placide Cappeau, alt.
