[@brendaclark8344]

It is so rare to hear the complete O Holy Night, as written. Thank you Jennifer Nettles.

[@IantheWoodcraftsman]

It's NOT the complete song. She sings V1 completely, then V3 except for the last 3 lines. The she replaces them with the last 3 lines of V1. She completely omits V2. I've never seen anyone sing the entire song in You-Tube except a cappella version by a male group. That said, Jennifer sings what she does sing very well, with her heart in it.

[@trojanowl]

Check out David Phelps if you want to hear a moving version of the entire song.
