O Holy Night: A Majestic Carol
Christmas carol power ballad: slow, flowing triplets on piano that build with orchestra and choir to a huge climax, with a soaring classical-crossover tenor. Majestic and awestruck, sung in English, about the night of the Nativity.
Lyrics
The violet sky is deep and vast,The winter wind has ceased to blow.A single light begins to cast,A diamond beam on drifts of snow.The weary world is standing still,To watch the hill where angels sing.A promise kept, a holy will,Behold the arrival of the King.Holy, holy, the light is here.Lowly in a manger stall.Holy, holy, the night is clear.Gloria to the Lord of all.Holy, holy, the light is here.Gloria to the Lord of all.No silken robes or marble floor,No crown of gems to mark His birth.But open heart and open door,Bring Heaven down to touch the earth.The shepherds kneel on bended knee,The oxen rest their heavy heads.A miracle for all to see,Upon a humble wooden bed.Holy, holy, the light is here.Lowly in a manger stall.Holy, holy, the night is clear.Gloria to the Lord of all.Holy, holy, the light is here.Gloria to the Lord of all.Look up and see the eastern star,It leads the wise across the sand.To bring their treasures from afar,And bless the child who saves the land.Holy, holy, the light is here.Lowly in a manger stall.Holy, holy, the night is clear.Gloria to the Lord of all.Holy, holy, the light is here.Gloria to the Lord of all.Gloria to the Lord of all.The light is here.Sleep in peace.
