O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior'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 soul 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!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by his cradle we stand.
So led by the light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here come the wise men
From the Orient land.
A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fall on your knees,
