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 appear'd 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
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
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
Christ is the Lord
Oh praise His name forever
His power and glory
Ever more proclaim
And His power and glory
Ever more proclaim
Oh and Christ is the Lord
Oh praise His name forever
His power and glory
Ever more proclaim
And His power and glory
Ever more proclaim
His power and glory
Ever more proclaim
His power and glory
Ever more proclaim
