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 it's worth      A thrill of hope the weary world 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
