Peter Hollens - December Song (A Capella) Lyrics






In December
We give our gifts
Wishing well to our world
Peace on Earth to everyone
A time to be joyful
When all is calm and all is bright

But why?
Does it change with the seasons?
And why can't we just hold on?

To silent nights
Holy nights and angels singing lullabies
And Heaven and nature, singing good will to all...
To all...

There are times
I can remember with family and friends the light of Christmas
Radiates
Lights of my memories
The magic of love
We made time

But why?
Does it change with the seasons?
And why can't we just hold on?

To silent nights
Holy nights and angels singing lullabies
And Heaven and nature, singing good will to all...
To all...

O, come let us adore him
O, come let us adore him
O, come let us adore him
O, Night Divine
(Night divine!)

And those silent nights
Holy nights and angels singing lullabies
And Heaven and nature singing good will to all...
To all...
To all
And those silent nights
Holy nights and angels singing lullabies
And Heaven and nature singing good will to all...
To all...
To all...

    This is one of my very favorite song you have done. I was born on Dec. 26th and it isn't much fun, I love this song and I think of it as special because of the name and you fantastic rendition.

  13. M.... J....

    This resonates so much with me. It is a sentiment I have often felt.

  14. V.... M....

    Wow, I didnt know there was a song, showing that love and affection at christmas is just fake. Thats what I always say, why just around christmas and not the whole year beeing kind and affectionate to each other. Besides of that: Very beautiful song, well done!

  15. M.... G....

    Someone used some makeup to smooth out your skin color. You look wonderful. One of the best photos of you I have seen was in this video. When your face is facing the camera. I got a chance to see those lashes she was oohing and aahing over and they a super long. Women would kill to have them that long naturally. Evynne wears fake eyelashes sometimes. I don't wear anything like that. Also as I have said before I love all of your hair. Don't darken it the natural colors is beautiful. Looks so good on you.

  16. M.... G....

    This is a beautiful song and you sing it so well.

  17. E.... C....

    You are Awesome. Thanks so much. * love your music.

  21. T.... A....

    I came from seeing the Churchill High School choir performing this recently

  22. L.... J....

    My Christmas Spirit was non existent until I heard December Song. So beautiful. Thank you Peter. I needed this.

  23. L.... K....

    Just heard this on the radio!! love it!!!

  24. S.... ....

    I definitely think the acapella version of this song works best, that's not to say I don't love the piano version (because I totally do!) but hearing the multiple voices gives it much more of a christmassy feeling because it makes me think of the choirs I used to hear singing carols as a child! :)

  25. S.... ....

    The Best Christmas song i have ever listened to in my 36 year old life

  26. S.... L....

    Great job (as usual), Peter! :)

  27. E.... F....

    I'm crying. It's to early for Christmas but I find this and I'm going to learn it so I can sing it for my fam over the holidays.

  28. M.... G....

    LOOK AT 2.O1 ON THIS VIDEO, THE MOST HANDSOME PHOTO IN YOUR VIDEOS. USE THAT VIEW ON T-SHIRTS OR OTHER MERCHANDISE AND IT IS GOING TO HELP WITH SALES THIS WINTER.

  29. L.... A....

    In my top 5 Christmas songs of all time. Just beautiful.

  30. M.... G....

    I WAS A DECEMBER BABY...BORN ON THE 26TH. I WILL LISTEN TO YOUR SONG AND SMILE, I DON'T FEEL CHEATED ANYMORE. A BEAUTIFUL SONG AND SINGER IS IN MY LIFE MAKING ME SMILE.

  52. K.... L....

    Hey Peter Hollens, I'm in a Jazz Choir class at college and ever since hearing this song last year I've thought it would be an awesome song to do for our winter concert. We're an SATB choir so I have two questions, 1. Would doing this song for our concert be a possibility, and 2. If so, is it possible to get the sheet music for an SATB arrangement? No worries if it's not possible I just love the song and would love to bring it as a possibility for this year or next year. Loving everything you do as always!

  53. J.... H....

    Damn this song is still just as amazing as when I first heard it.

  54. T.... S....

    This is so awesome, and powerful. I'd love to hear you do some actual worship music(if you do that kind of thing)!

  55. M.... D....

    Is it possible to purchase the sheet music of this arrangement somewhere? Would love to sing it with my choir!

  56. J.... B....

    You are sooooooooo gifted. This is one of my most favorite Christmas songs ever, to be sung anytime during the whole year. My heart loves this song. My soul loves this song. God gave you such a gift, and you are not wasting it! Bless you :)

  57. P.... ....

    Do you have a clarinet arrangement? 😂

  58. K.... G....

    My favorite thing about your songs is that they just make me happy. Whenever I'm feeling down I just play your music and instantly feel better :) keep doing what you're doing, because your musical gift is purely magical. Thank you for brightening lives everywhere

  59. D.... S....

    You need to do a collaboration with voctave, it would be amazing.

  60. N.... R....

    Sheet music?

  61. C.... S....

    Absolutely beautiful song!!! You are amazing!

  62. J.... S....

    Absolutely STUNNING!

  63. f.... ....

    Can the sheet music still be downloaded somewhere?

    Kind regards, Peter

  64. A.... B....

  72. j.... ....

    I hope you and your loved one's spent a lovely christmas. The Cd was a great gift and we listened to all your songs the last couple days throug and through and my nephew 8 years old asked if you wrote that song for us in Berlin. When he said that and it played again the lyrics got another layer for me. We wnet there yesterday to light a candle and pray and listened to your song and it fitted that moment perfectly. So thank you for that

  73. D.... F....

    This gift is joy on earth. Thank you and keep you throughout all season of the year.

  77. A.... ....

    Haha, I listened to this on Apple TV, so I couldn't read the description. I desperately googled the words to figure out who originally sang this song, because I fell in love with it. Amazing job on the song! Will definitely buy it!

  78. P.... M....

    This is incredible!

  79. S.... S....

    Amazing. You have a wonderful talent. Thank you for sharing it with the world.
    Could you make an arrangement of this for a SSAA chorus? We would love to perform your music at one of our future concerts.

  82. A.... T....

    You're awesome can you sing silent night please

  83. M.... W....

    Thanks to youtube's suggestions, I've been coming across a few of the contestant submissions. A few led to a plethora. Wow, there's a lot of talented folks out there!

    I do not envy the decision you and the other judges will have to make.

    A bi-product of your competition: I have found a fair amount more channels to subscribe. Thank you for inspiring these great talents to perform your and Anna Gilbert's song

  84. k.... ....

    I don't think I can express to you how much this song moves me. I love it so, so much. I love your singing, I cannot wait to hear more original music!💜💜

  85. S.... V....

    Great song👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

  86. r.... h....

    Not only is your music inspiring, you have inspired so many other talented people to cover this beautiful song. It is a Christmas miracle!

  87. j.... ....

    Peter since I started watching all those entries to your competition I can only applaud you even more for all the great things your doing beside making music. Watching all those music loving people taking the time and making hugh efforts and being so creative (while having often not much to do it and little time in busy lifes) to participate and share their love is just great and there are so many of them and so many are really good or funny or full of great ideas!!! I see a wave of singers and musicians across the country filming and singing and those who don't know you and this competition might wonder (check the video of Joel Robers as an exemple) ! I am amazed by all those people daring to show themselves and sing/play being talented or not and just willing to get out there and do stuff (I can't hold a tune and are way to shy for sucha thing) and can therefor recognize how brave they all are to be part of this specially when others are just behind a Pc and like to comment without doing much themselves. It also shows how truly wonderfull music is and how it touches people around the world. If everyone would make music it sure might be a better place, look at all the love you are spreading not only with yours but with this competiton! All that lovely energy floating around the world...But it also shows HOW GREAT you constantly are and what an exemptional good singer! Thanks again and good luck for the judges its gonna be really a hard job

  88. A.... A....

    This. Is. BEAUTIFUL! This made my heart soften. Thank you for this! ❤

  89. I.... R....

    You should do this type of thing AT LEAST once a year!! You could make so many people so happy!

  90. C.... K....

    Did he come up with this song by himself

    C.... K....

    Chrissycat Kitty Looks like he did!

  91. F.... H....

    Let us adore Jesus in ALL HIS GLORY WHO WILL RETURN IN ALL AUTHORITY!!

  92. K.... S....

    I think this is an absolutely beautiful song sung by someone with an amazing voice. I love to sing but there is no way I can compare to this. Well done sir.

  93. G.... I....

    I love your voice!
    You are just awesome!

  94. T.... M....

    I've had bronchitis for the past 2 months and when I tried to record myself I was singing through my nose and couldn't take a deep breath. The dog was scratching her ear and the licenses on her collar were jingling. the camera on the phone was too dark... guess I'm out. ... good luck everyone. SIGH

  95. I.... ....

    Check out my production if it! I promise you won't be disappointed!

  96. R.... T....

    I was wondering if you would do this next year... because I missed the deadline. ):

  97. K.... S....

    Peter, I have a question for you; What do you classify as your vocal part?

  98. N.... H....

    You are so the cutest with hand delivering your album!
