《O holy night (神圣的夜晚)》又译《圣善夜》,描写耶稣的诞生和对人类的救赎。曲谱作者法国人阿道夫·亚当(A.C.Adam 1803-1856),创作后并未被熟知。这首作品的风靡全球,是拜 20 世纪初收音机的推广。被认为是历史上第一首被广播播放的音乐作品。通过收音机,民众在 1906 年的圣诞专辑中第一次听到。
《O holy night (神圣的夜晚)》由阿道夫·亚当于1847年为法文诗歌《Minuit, chrétiens(午夜,基督徒)》谱曲创作。
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 appear'd 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 night divine
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night, oh night divine
