"O Holy Night" (original title: Cantique de Noël) is a sacred song associated with the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Its text is based on the 1847 French poem Minuit, chrétiens by Placide Cappeau, which was set to music by composer Adolphe Adam. The widely known English version was written by John Sullivan Dwight, who introduced notable changes to the meaning of the original French lyrics. The carol has become a standard part of Christmas repertoire and has been recorded by numerous artists.
