O Holy Night
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,
Oh 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 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 and ever praise we!
His pow’r and glory, evermore proclaim!
His pow’r and glory, evermore proclaim!
