LYRICS:
O holy night the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our 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 glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angels' voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine o night
O night divine
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angels' voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine o night
O night divine
Ooh yes it was
Ooh it is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah
It was a holy holy holy, oh oh oh

He was Anthony Burger who collapsed and died while performing on a Gaither Homecoming cruise out of Miami, February 2006 at the age of 44 due to heart failure. He died while doing something he loved, while blessing everyone who listened to him. He joined God's heavenly choir that day.

[@AlexS-oj8qf]

He sings as if he's preaching something that he actually believed in, and that's what makes his performance stands out, where others sing to flex on their skills, David sings out of his faith in God, give the songs he sing meanings.

[@mattronaldholloway3428]

Amen

[@tonyalfano2479]

You are 100% correct. Someone mentioned Mariah Carey’s live version. While her vocal gymnastics are incredible, that’s what she appeared to focus on rather than the meaning and feeling of the hymn.

[@robbiecleighmarks3088]

.... Idk what else to say other than his voice has been anointed by the Lord Himself.. I'm in jaw dropped awe of what I just witnessed here tonight

[@courtreneeB]

True!

[@yedis1750]

It could be that. As a non religious person I marvel at the dedication, hard work, passion and sheer craftsmanship that comes through when he sings.

[@cg0825]

This is the best version of O Holy Night. It is not a song that is easy to sing and it doesn't sound good if not sing with a powerful voice and full of emotion. You have to sing it picturing yourself walking through Bethlehem 2000 years back coming across a small place where there are animals seeing the baby has just been born--and you have to sing it like you want the world to know just that. He knocks it out of the park.

[@vincekerrigan8300]

A pity he didn't sing it the way it was written. He could then have breathed in the right places.

[@williamvelez-jimenez4265]

Am I the only one that thinks the pianist also did an amazing job???

The brilliant pianist, Anthony Burger, won the Gospel Music Award for best piano player 10 years in a row. He stepped away from the category, giving others a chance to win. The award was named after him. Sadly, in 2006, he died of a massive heart attack while doing what he loved, playing the piano on a Gaither Cruise. He was 44 years old. He was survived by his wife and 3 children. He was THE BEST!

I've been involved in music my entire life. Went to college on a music scholarship, vocal performance major, piano minor. What you see in this video is a completely amazing pianist, Anthony Berger. He dedicated his profound talents to gospel music, and he was the best there ever was in that field. There's nothing I can say about David Phelps that hasn't been said. I seriously doubt any male vocalist who walked this planet has been better than Mr. Phelps. All I can say is thank God I was around at the right time to hear him.

It’s not just the range, it’s not just the power, David Phelps actually believes what he singing

[@chaserooface]

Danny Gill no, it’s mostly the ranger and power lol. There are so few people, alive and dead, that can sing like this and that’s what’s incredibly moving.

[@jacksoncurrin9618]

@@chaserooface you can see that he is feeling and believing the song. I doubt it would be as meaningful if he was up there nonchalant and careless without the message of the song affecting him. The only thing that would make this as great as it is would be like you said the range and the power. But since he believes it, it adds more to the performance.

[@chaserooface]

Jaxon Currin it’s impossible to not look like you’re feeling the song when you sing like that, it’s impossible to sing like that and be nonchalant.

[@jacksoncurrin9618]

@@chaserooface I wouldn't say that's the case always. I've seen a few people sing the song without any respect or affection towards it nor its message.

[@chaserooface]

Jaxon Currin let me reiterate, you CANNOT song this particular way, with his range and power and be nonchalant about it.Sure, you can be boring, especially with this song, depending on the arrangement. And, yes, he’s getting into, but people put too much emphasis on delivery when it’s really the music and the vocals that are moving you. His presence and physical interpretation is just an added bonus.

[@jefferee2002]

As a Christian I love you

[@lslmadi]

If you were to die today, are you a 100% sure you will go to heaven? If no, here is what the bible says, (1) Romans 3:23 KJV [23] For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Q1. Do you know what Sin is? Sin is anything bad that we have done. Q2. Have you sinned before? Yes or No? (2) Revelation 21:8 KJV [8] But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Because we have sinned, and God does not allow Sin into Heaven, the punishment is burning hell. What is the way to reconcile our peace and relationship with God? Q3. Do you know the Story of Jesus? (3) Romans 5:8 KJV [8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Jesus = God who lived up in Heaven, but he came down on earth and became a man like us, he lived for 33.5 years without committing any sin. Then there were certain people who were jealous and therefore framed him on phony charges, and crucified him. Then he was buried and resurrected on the third day; Now he lives in HEAVEN. Q4. Do you know why Jesus went through all this bloody mess for us? A4. As mentioned, our sin is the reason why we can’t go to heaven, and the only thing that can wash away our sin is the Blood of Jesus. (4) Romans 5:9 KJV [9] Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. According to the bible, the only way for us to reconcile with God is through Christ Jesus’s blood, and not through any works that we do or merits we accumulate, such as water baptism, attending church, or any good thing that we do. The following verses clearly support this. (5) Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV [8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. (6) 2 Corinthians 7:10 KJV [10] For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. In order to get saved, repentance of one’s sin is needed to get saved, we need to be sorry, and repent, with conviction, that we are a wretched sinner. (7) Romans 10:9 KJV [9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. If you truly do believe in everything you have heard in the gospel, ,I strongly suggest you to make a proclamation to GOD! You can say it to God in less than 15 seconds !Repeat after this simple prayer, to make sure you truly get saved. Remember repeating this prayer doesn't save you, it's you telling God you BELIEVE THE GOSPEL. Ok, here is the prayer : ‘Dear GOD, I know I am a sinner, as I repent, I put my faith, that Jesus is GOD, and that he died, buried and resurrected, so that his blood, can wash away my Sins. I put my faith in that alone to save me, not my good works. In Jesus’s holy name, I pray. Amen! Congratulations ! Now you are a child of God. Download /Buy a KJV bible (I highly suggest getting a hard copy bible , as one day, it will be illegal to buy, own or even have an online version of the bible) and search for youtube channel like REAL Bible Believers , Spencer Smith to help you grow , study dispensationalism to understand the bible ( How do we reconcile the verses in the New Testament that tell us that we need works to show our faith, and another that tells us that nothing that can take our salvation away? That's why we need to study biblical dispensationalism to rightly divide the word of God.( study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth, 2 Timothy 2:15) (I recommend the dispensationalism video from Genesis to Revelations by Dr. Gene Kim, kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXqXdKebequrhc0) , Jesus in Genesis (kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJ7Rhp6EiZponbc) join a bible believing church. God bless you brother/ sister ☺. See you in heaven one day!

[@davieb8534]

There seems to be a split between some people loving the whole thing and others just enjoying it from about 3:30 onwards when he smashes the high note, the choir joins in and it kind of balances out. For me, the opening 3 minutes are beautiful, yes he changes styles, yes it’s slow but that’s deliberate, because he’s telling a story, he’s preaching, he’s not just singing a bunch of random words to a given melody like most others who attempt this song. He truly believes in what he’s saying and who he’s saying it to, so he stretches that message out. That’s my thought anyway. It seems that no one can argue with this guys voice, his range and stability are outstanding and this for me is the most beautiful rendition of this song and it’s the first song I listen to every festive period 😊

Out of every tenor singing this song, this is the most anointed and greatest voice I’ve ever heard. Wow! What an ending. Goosebumps!

Joe Melton could not agree more. I just found this and the first time (and every time) I can’t help but get flooded with emotion. It’s something about him with this song it almost is impossible how perfect he sings it.

[@mfnryt]

I would have to agree!

[@AF-dn2bz]

unquestionably.

[@kingsolo6241]

That statement is actually true since David is the best Tenor of our lifetime if not all of lifetime. He set Guinness World record for highest hitting chest notes (which is a tenor) and sustained notes as well. This guy was truly gifted beyond any human I’ve ever known. I’ve heard some great voices in my lifetime. It’s crazy to think this guy is the best tenor. Making him the most powerful singer ever recorded. So far.

[@Tawadeb]

King Solo Wow!!!

[@Johnny_Nitro]

Still listening in 2019. The first time I heard David sing this, tears came to my eyes. The difference between talent and anointing is when the song goes forth, the talent draws attention to it's self, but the anointing draws people to Jesus. God Bless you David.

[@thornolie]

My best friend died in November at the age of 33. She loved this performance of O Holy Night. It was her favorite, hands down. For years I’ve never felt like it was Christmas until I listened to David Phelps belt this one out. Listening to it tonight in honor of my friend!

[@victoriacampion8002]

Really sorry for your loss. Very sad. I agree with you - it isn’t officially Christmas till David Phelps sings his heart out to God. God bless you this most holy season.

It's not just his voice, but also the way he articulates the powerful words. He is anointed and sings this song as if he is watching the angels announce our Lord Jesus. Powerful and beautiful!

[@jamesmartinek8832]

I feel like 3:40 is the moment David Phelps calls directly to God and his Angels. Like he rips the sky open in that moment and begs Him to listen.

The greatest joy is accepting Jesus as your Savior, that gives a rest and peace in mind and heart. Jesus came to the world about 2000 years ago, to clear the way for us to God through His suffering, dying and rising from the dead. We have a hopeful future.....thanks to the Lord Jesus And I long for it David.... Not because I am tired of life or unhappy now....but I look forward to the fulfillment of God's Promises to us...yes, to everyone who believes in the work of redemption of the Lord Jesus. We may soon be with Him...., woh... then all suffering, pain, sorrow is over.... That prospect gives us the courage and strength to stand firm in this broken world.... And I pray for you and that many more will receive the Lord Jesus as their Savior....🙏❤

[@irishcajun85]

He is by far the greatest tenor on this planet and I say that with zero exaggeration. He is a vocal freak and I mean that with the highest praise. Some folks can bend their limbs into seemingly impossible positions front and back. He’s able to that with his voice. I’d be willing to bet money if I was a betting woman that he would hold some kind of record if he was measured properly. His voice is unnaturally good.
