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,
‘Til He appeared
And the soul 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,
O night when Christ was born!
O night divine,
O night,
O night divine!
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 shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy
In grateful chorus raise we,
Let all with in us
Praise His holy name;
Christ is the Lord,
Then ever ever praise we
O night divine,
O night when Christ was born!
O night divine,
O night,
O night divine!
