“O Holy Night” by Pentatonix is a stunning take on a classic Christmas hymn. Originally composed in the mid-1800s by Adolphe Adam, O Holy Night has become a timeless song, capturing the wonder of Christmas with its powerful lyrics about the night of Jesus’ birth. Pentatonix, a popular a cappella group known for their exceptional harmonies and vocal creativity, released their own version of this song in 2014. Their version appears on their Christmas album That’s Christmas to Me, which was released in October of that same year. This album was a big hit, quickly becoming one of the best-selling holiday albums in recent years.
In O Holy Night, Pentatonix uses only their voices to bring out the richness of each note. The group arranges the song in a way that lets each member’s voice shine, while still blending together perfectly. The song moves from soft and gentle tones to bold, full harmonies, adding a dramatic touch to each line. The voices rise and fall, giving listeners a sense of both calm and awe as they listen.
The music video for O Holy Night is simple but effective. Set in a dark, beautiful space with soft lighting, the video puts all the focus on the singers. Each member of Pentatonix performs with a heartfelt expression, letting the music speak for itself. The simplicity of the setting and the absence of instruments highlight the strength of their voices, and the close-up shots add an intimate feel. Watching this video makes you feel as if you’re right there, experiencing the beauty of the song with them.
Pentatonix’s O Holy Night is a beautiful reminder of the spirit of Christmas. Their vocal talents and attention to detail bring this beloved song to life in a way that feels fresh yet true to the original.

O Holy Night Lyrics by Pentatonix
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! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O, the night when Christ was born
O night, O Holy Night, O night divine!
O night, O Holy Night, O night divine!
O Holy Night!
