    The original O Holy Night sung in French "Minuit chrétiens" / Cantique de Noël composed by Adolphe Adam in 1847. Ann-Marie MacFarlane, solo with Alla Blanc, piano and the Kalinka choir
    Minuit ! Chrétiens, c'est l'heure solennelle
    Où l'homme Dieu descendit jusqu'à nous,
    Pour effacer la tache originelle
    Et de son père arrêter le courroux:
    Le monde entier tressaille d'espérance
    A cette nuit qui lui donne un sauveur
    Peuple à genoux, attends ta délivrance
    Noël ! Noël ! Voici le Rédempteur !
    Noël ! Noël ! Voici le Rédempteur !
    De notre foi que la lumière ardente
    Nous guide tous au berceau de l'enfant
    Comme autrefois, une étoile brillante
    Y conduisit les chefs de l'Orient
    Le Roi des Rois naît dans une humble crèche,
    Puissants du jour fiers de votre grandeur,
    A votre orgueil c'est de là qu'un Dieu prêche,
    Courbez vos fronts devant le Rédempteur !
    Courbez vos fronts devant le Rédempteur !
    Le Rédempteur a brisé toute entrave,
    La terre est libre et le ciel est ouvert
    Il voit un frère où n'était qu'un esclave
    L'amour unit ceux qu'enchaînait le fer,
    Qui lui dira notre reconnaissance ?
    C'est pour nous tous qu'il naît, qu'il souffre et meurt:
    Peuple, debout ! chante ta délivrance,
    Noël ! Noël ! chantons le Rédempteur !
    Noël ! Noël ! chantons le Rédempteur !

      I worked about the song recently.
      One has to pay attention to the text and to be aware of the context in which the work was made public.
      The text of "Minuit, chrétiens" was written around 1843 by Placide Cappeau, who was a
      - republican,
      - socialist,
      - freemason,
      - freethinker,
      - anti-clerical,
      Yet, the song was first interpreted only in 1847
      The last stanza reads as follows :
      Le Rédempteur a brisé toute entrave
      > The Redeemer has broken all hindrance
      La Terre est libre et le ciel est ouvert
      > The Earth is free and the sky is open
      Il voit un frère où n'était qu'un esclave
      > He sees a brother where only was a slave
      L'amour unit ceux qu'enchaînait le fer
      > Love unites those chained by fetter
      Qui lui dira notre reconnaissance ?
      > Who will tell him our gratitude ?
      C'est pour nous tous qu'il naît, qu'il souffre et meurt
      > It is for all of us that he is born, suffers and dies
      Peuple, debout ! chante ta délivrance
      > People, stand up ! sing of your deliverance
      Noël ! Noël ! Voici le Rédempteur !
      > Christmas ! Christmas ! Here is the Redeemer
      > Noël ! Noël ! Voici le Rédempteur !
      Christmas ! Christmas ! Here is the Redeemer
      The web magazine "Contrepoints" explains :
      “[In 1848], a few months after the creation [of the song, the Second Republic was proclaimed in France].
      [The song] thus resonated with the quarante-huitard* spirit , which mixed utopian socialism and social Christianity [...] An ephemeral alliance brought together the Catholic Church [...] and the young Republic, anxious to avoid the errors of the French Revolution. The priests blessed the trees of freedom."
      quarante-huitard* : adjective describing all things related to the Revolution of 1848 in France.
      Knowing this, I doubt that it's relevant to point out that the lyricist was this or that (the same remark applies to the composer).
