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   Over the world a star is sweetly gleaming   Now come the wise men 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
