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 pining   Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth      The 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, O holy night, oh 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 within us praise His holy name   Christ is the Lord, oh, praise His name forever   His power and glory evermore proclaim   His power and glory evermore proclaim
