Chieftains-O Holy Night by Rickie Lee Jones

By request. Here´s another upload from the Christmas-themed album of The Bells of Dublin from the Chieftains, featuring Rickie Lee Jones vocal and Suzie Katayama cello.

Lyrics:
O Holy Night
O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
'Til He appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and 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.

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 come the wise men from Orient land.
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friend.

He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King, Behold your King.

Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother;
And in His name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.

Christ is the Lord! O praise His Name forever,
His power and glory evermore proclaim.
His power and glory evermore proclaim.

Thank you immensely. I've been listening to other, very fine versions, but none match this one of Rickie Lee and the Chieftains.

Oh dear, no problem. You´re welcome. I´m glad that someone likes it as much as I do.

I love it too.....Ricki Lee Jones has an inflection in her voice like no other. I wish someone would post The Horses CD version? I pray she is healthy and happy.
