O Holy Night

O holy night the stars are brightly shining

It is the night of the dear savior's birth

Long lay the world in sin and error pinning

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

Oh hear the angels voices

O night divine

O night when christ was born

O night divine, o night, o night divine



Led by the light of faith serenely beaming

With glowing hearts by his cradle we stand

So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming

Here came the wise men from orient land



The king of king's lay thus in lowly manger

In all our trials born to be our friend

He knows our need

Our weakness 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 shall he break for the slave is our brother

And in his name all oppression cease



Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we

Let all within us praise his holy name

Christ is the lord

Oh praise his name forever

His pow'r and glory

Ever more proclaim

His pow'r and glory ever more proclaim
