Lyrics
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear saviour'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 news and glorious morn,
Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices.
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night divine, O night, O night divine.
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 came 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.
He knows our need, He guardeth us from danger;
Behold your King, before Him lowly bend!
Behold you King, before Him lowly bend!
Fall on your knees!

She and I are the same age. I first heard her sing this when we were both 14. I come back every year to hear it because no one else can compete with her stunning voice. No one else can sing this song like she can. The last “divine” could melt any soul. She’s phenomenal

[@irenedavo3768]

Wow!

[@ufoman4468]

Great pair of tits hasnt she ?

[@Geoglyph89]

Hilarious.

[@iamnobody9542]

Believe or not... Check out little 7 year old Emma Sofia Ryan singing this same song on her channel, the Emma Sofia Show on YT. Jerry

[@rudyloerajr2201]

No one sings O Holy Night like Charlotte Church. Simply beautiful.

[@Dbusdriver71]

This version is unique. Charlotte is simply incredible, timeless.

[@chagavah]

Blessings to you

[@teresaf991]

Absolutely!

[@mshabs2238]

And to think she was only 14!! Truly beautiful vocals she has.

[@rogerdeschenes6749]

Agreed. Sublimely beautiful

[@sellmyhousefastinlawrencev5909]

No words. Mic Drop... As was said by previous commentors - no one at that age and point in time (2000) was at Charlotte's caliber, and even some adults! Unbelievable tone, control, vibrato, and chill that she sends through the spine in particular when she hits those high notes. What an instrument she had/has, and what a God-given gift.

[@PaulWashington..]

Absolutely and glory be to God. Jesus Christ is Lord.

[@otias5465]

One of the best renditions no doubt. Quite close to mahallia Jackson's delivery.

[@genesiooliveira3841]

I agree

[@YusofPillay-qt7xd]

The highest notes of charlotte church not like any other can even be able to do let alone try to do like charlotte church can

Vibrato is so appealing

Finally. Someone has the nerve to go for that high note.

Check out Michaeal Crawfords version. He can sing so well.

I bet her dad is proud.

[@shin-i-chikozima]

Jesus seem to be listening to her beautiful and solemn song with a big smile on his face

[@susanosky1]

I've heard Celine, Mariah and others sing this. But IMO this is the most authentic and beautiful.

Yes.

[@principianaturales671]

Actually, CC _is_ an angel. As a scientist, I have a scientific proof of that.

Sad she doesn’t sing these anymore! We need it more than ever in this crazy world!

She's opened a retreat center. Check it out!

she should have gotten a national award for this presentation

[@themcrazykids4512]

Sung like a true angel. No one else can do this song justice.

[@Oystersgetclamydia]

Have a listen to Mahalia Jackson version.. It’s my favourite. I love Charlotte’s version too 😊

[@mikeaskins3206]

She definitely has the voice of an angel. I could listen to her all day.

Charlotte church should be a permanent member of Celtic woman for how truly beautiful her voice is

[@fredfarnackle5455]

Beautiful voice ! 😊😢❤

[@jessicabrown6480]

Love this song Jesus came to die for us the night he was born Holy holy night

[@oriana7026]

There was no more beautiful voice in the world than Charlotte's at that age, and no more beautiful rendition of this wonderful carol. See also her duet with Placido Domingo of the same carol, when I think she hits that high note even more dramatically. I listen to this every Christmas over and over again. What an incredible talent and gorgeous young woman at that time.

[@02887727356]

try Amira now

[@angelkotilainen]

Agreed, she was magical at this age.

[@julianlewis1792]

As much as I love the work/art of singers with beautiful voices like Linda Ronsdtadt and Loreena Mckennitt, I feel like Charlotte Church's voice is perhaps the most beautiful I've ever heard in my entire 68 years! It's hard to say if any one of these is greater than the others. But perhaps this performance by Charlotte, with her wonderful voice, IS truly beauty itself!

[@invista4134]

She is a soprano and must be hitting those high notes a F7 easily.

[@johngilmer]

There are times when a gifted singer produces a sound that you can barely believe is humanly possible even though you witness them do it: 04:00

[@lblanton3671]

Best performance of this piece ever. Truly the voice of an angel that will stand the test of time.

[@livinglight1924]

L Blanton absolutely!

[@kellytredwell2231]

100% best ever version

[@Giskard1000]

I do think Celine Dion’s performance in 1998 is better. But this is still very good.

[@allenjones3130]

A profoundly moving performance by Charlotte. Also beautiful orchestral backing and impressive photography.

[@davidjacobs8558]

too bad she only sang 2 verses.

[@dugout3997]

Dear Lord Ms. Church, I cannot get through this song without tearing up. Splendid!

[@lindz758]

I have been on a mission to find the most beautiful version of O Holy Night. My search ends here. Angelic, reverent, utterly perfect.

Yup.

This is so way beyond perfection! Way better than Jackie Evanco! Sad but true. Nobody can hit those high notes the way that Charlotte Church can. The skill this 13-14 year old has mastered is beyond compare!

[@stephenmccarthy102]

Agreed, the pitch is pleasing to the ear, some opera singers sound quite harsh when hitting those high notes but not Charlotte

[@75bg90]

Yes, high notes are perfect! But Jackie sound very good too, for me. Especially in young age. Also i like this performance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKLJpY2kZrF0js0

Ms. Church. I was born in Christmas Day. I'm 51 and heard MANY renditions of every Christmas song ever. If I could every have one wish, it would be the you sing this to me, JUST like this. When you hit the high note, I cry everytime. The power, feeling in that moment, I cannot hold back. My favorite song ever, and the first one I blare as loud as I can at 3:45 am( when I was born.

[@edcottingham1]

I first learned to love this song when we (all the ninth graders of my town, multiple schools) sang it, as they did every Christmas, as a great massed choir. It probably was not very good, but it gave me goosebumps. Sure, it is a great song for grand choirs as well as for small groups. But what I really love now is to hear it sung by a solo artists. And not just any solo artist but one who brings magnificent, ringing clarity to it. I hear hardly anyone who can compare with the aptly named Miss Church. EDIT: Alas, I have concluded after a bit of Google research that Miss Church should keep her mouth shut when not singing.
