Story Behind The Song

Bible Knowledge was one of my best subjects as a student. And venturing into the Music industry, I wanted to start with a song about the greatness of God. And It just have to embody the story of Jesus Christ the Lord. A lover of classical music that I am, and my lyrics being of time immemorial, I figured it would be good to match it with it classical instrumentals. And that was the first thing I requested of the veteran Producer I painstakingly sourced for the purpose. We worked hard on this song, long hours, etc., and almost collided into each other jubilant about the end product. He then mixed a pop version for those who would rather listen to this music as such.

Song Description

The story of the birth of Jesus Christ.

Lyrics

HOLY IS THE NIGHT [classical instrumental version]

Holy is the night, tranquil as well.
All the world lay deep asleep;
when Virgin Mother Mary gave birth
to Holy Infant so gentle and meek -
Jesus Christ the Heaven Child.
Emmanuel the Son of God.
Emmanuel the son of God.

Holy is the night, tranquil as well.
Angel of God appeared to shepherds; follow the Star to where it stopped.
Inside the stable they saw the Babe.
Kneeling,they gave Him their three gifts
The world's most unforgettable gifts,
Myrrh and Gold and Frankincense.

Holy is the night, tranquil as well.
Heavenly peace upon the Child
asleep in the cradle gleam on His face.
Dawn was the day of mercifulness;
as was foretold before this day;
of Thy birth, O Christ The Lord.
Of Thy birth O Christ The Lord.

Holy is the night, tranquil as well.
Heavenly Host flowed magnificence!
Alleluias sang Angels of Heaven.
At the sight the shepherds trembled.
Glorious the Son must be.
The Redeemer is here indeed.
Glory be to Almighty God.


(NOTE: There are two versions of this song, the other [popmix], also published and on this site. Both were done by the same veteran Music Producer during the sessions).
