Makenzie Phipps recorded O Holy Night, adding a country twist to this timeless Christmas hymn. Growing up attending church, Mackenzie always loved singing O Holy Night. However, she felt out of her comfort zone, aware that the low notes could pose a challenge since she is a soprano singer. To address this, she chose a key that would highlight the power and emotion of the lyrics and the musical progression. Celebrating Christmas is a treasured family event for Makenzie and her loved ones. This year, they are especially excited because her grandmother is visiting, adding joy to their holiday traditions.
lyrics
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
Till He appeared 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 angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains He shall 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
(chorus repeated)
