Artist background

Nat King Cole began as a jazz pianist and became a much-loved interpreter of songs, with “Unforgettable” among his signature recordings. His voice is closely associated with “The Christmas Song”, better known to many by its opening mention of chestnuts. It’s an unhurried seasonal welcome, delivered with warmth rather than a need to shout.

Show Lyrics — O Holy Night
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth

The thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees, oh, hear the angel voices
O night divine, O night when Christ was born

O night divine
O night
O night divine

Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices
O night divine, O night when Christ was born

O night divine
O night
O night divine
