O Holy Night Lyrics

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 soul felt its worth

A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices

For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees! O hear the angel 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 the orient land

The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger

In all our trials born to be our friend

He knows our need, to our weakness no stranger

Behold your King, before Him lowly bend

Behold your King, 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 shall cease

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we

Let all within us praise His holy name

Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we

His power and glory evermore proclaim!

His power and glory evermore proclaim!
