O Holy Night

曾几何时，圣诞成了全世界的节日。排开宗教，相聚、爱情、温馨这才是我们要的。
于是，许多艺术家也会在这样重要的日子给大家带来甜蜜的礼物，
无论你是否热衷流行音乐，圣诞专辑实实在在会让耳朵带领身体徜徉在温暖中。

当然，在诸多圣诞专辑中，歌手们都会不约而同地选择传统圣经歌曲，以表达自己对如今所拥有的感谢，也寄托自己对家的感情。
而"O Holy Night"正是这样的一首天籁，全世界每个角落在此刻都会响起它柔和的旋律，沁人心肺。

不如也让我们和“她们的声音”一起融入温暖的心房。

[1] Mariah Carey (from the album:Merry Christmas)



1994年，Mariah Carey发表了这张圣诞专集，其独特的声音技巧，让许多大众眼前一亮。迄今为止，“Merry Christmas”都是全球最畅销的圣诞专辑之一。

[2] Celine Dion (from the album:These Are Special Times)



Celine Dion的嗓子无疑是万能的，任何风格的歌曲都能轻松驾驭。这张发表于1998年的圣诞专集正表现了她母性和柔和的一面，演绎时不用丝毫力度却如此动人。

[3] Christina Aguilera(from the album:My Kind Of Christmas)



21世纪以来，Christina Aguilera绝对是乐坛的一个惊喜。她的每一张专集都极富个性和才华，尽管歌迷为此要等上好多年。即便这是一张圣诞专辑，我们都找不到瑕疵。

[4] Whitney Houston(from the album:One Wish)



她的天赋是毋庸置疑的，虽然这张节日专辑并非Whitney Houston的上乘之作，但依旧能在歌曲中找到情感和内涵。一个歌手的伟大不过如此。

[5] Faith Hill(from the album:Joy To The World)



Faith Hill的声音是颇有辨识度的，高亢激昂的歌曲也信手捏来。不过在如今欧美流行一片的节奏潮流下，她却将幸福用厚实的嗓音娓娓道来。高雅是需要脱俗的。

"O Holy Night" ("Cantique de Noël")
O! Holy night! The stars, their gleams prolonging,
Watch o'er the Eve of our dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error, longing
For His appearance, then the Spirit 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 angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was Born;
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts we stand by the Babe adored.
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming,
And come now, Shepherds, from your flocks unboard.
The Son of God lay thus w'thin lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our Lord.
He knows our need, our weakness never lasting,
Behold your King! By Him, let Earth accord!
Behold your King! By Him, let Earth accord!
Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Long live His truth, and may it last forever,
For in His name all discordant noise shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
