O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,
+
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
+
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
+
Till He appeared and the Spirit 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, the night when Christ was born;
+
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
+
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
+
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
+
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
+
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming,
+
Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land.
+
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger;
+
In all our trials born to be our friends.
+
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger,
+
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
+
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
+
Truly He taught us to love one another,
+
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
+
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
+
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
+
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
+
With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
+
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
+
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
+
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
+
