Oh Holy Night
Daryl Hall · Other Songs - Daryl Hall
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
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
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
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine
Oh Holy Night by Daryl Hall
Daryl Hall's rendition of 'Oh Holy Night' stands as a significant contribution to the Christmas music canon, blending his signature smooth vocal style with the traditional carol's solemn melody. While Hall is best known for his R&B and soul-infused pop hits like 'You Make My Dreams,' this recording demonstrates his versatility and ability to interpret classic religious songs with warmth and reverence. The track captures the reflective mood of the holiday season, utilizing his rich baritone to convey the spiritual themes inherent in the original composition. Released as a standalone recording, it highlights his capacity to bridge the gap between contemporary pop sensibilities and timeless traditional music, appealing to listeners who appreciate both his chart-topping originals and his deeper, more contemplative musical explorations.
