O Holy Night: Difference between revisions

"'''O Holy Night'''" (original title: '''{{lang|fr|Cantique de Noël}}''') is a [[sacred song]] about the night of the birth of Jesus Christ, described in the first verse as 'the dear Saviour', and frequently performed as a [[Christmas carol]]. Based on a French-language poem written in 1843 by poet [[Placide Cappeau]], it was set to music by composer [[Adolphe Adam]]. The English version, with small changes to the initial melody, is by [[John Sullivan Dwight]].

In modern times, the song has been covered multiple times, most notably by [[Mariah Carey]] and [[Lauren Daigle]].
