"O Holy Night" is a Christmas carol that was covered by Ariana Grande and Graham Phillips in South Africa at a Christmas party. Ariana later sang it with a choir at the 11th Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony at the Citadel Outlets in Los Angeles. The first cover was uploaded on Ariana's YouTube channel on March 6, 2009 and the live version can be seen here.
Trivia[]
- At the Tree Lighting, Ariana did Mariah Carey's version of O Holy Night but a semitone higher.
- The first cover was cut off at the beginning so Graham is heard starting at "The stars are brightly shining".
Lyrics[]
Graham:
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
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night
O night divine
Ariana:
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle I stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here come the wise men from the Orient land
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend
Fall on my knees
Oh, hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night
O night divine
Graham // Ariana:
Fall on your knees // Fall on my knees
Both:
Oh hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night
O night divine
Ariana:
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!
Ariana and Choir:
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
Ariana:
O night divine
O night
O night divine
Choir:
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here come the wise men from the Orient land
Ariana:
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend
Ariana and Choir:
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine
