《O holy night (神聖的夜晚)》又譯《聖善夜》,描寫耶穌的誕生和對人類的救贖。曲譜作者法國人阿道夫·亞當(A.C.Adam 1803-1856),創作後並未被熟知。這首作品的風靡全球,是拜 20 世紀初收音機的推廣。被認為是歷史上第一首被廣播播放的音樂作品。通過收音機,民眾在 1906 年的聖誕專輯中第一次聽到。
《O holy night (神聖的夜晚)》由阿道夫·亞當於1847年為法文詩歌《Minuit, chrétiens(午夜,基督徒)》譜曲創作。
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
