O Holy Night
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of our dear Savior'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 soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees,
Oh hear the angels voices,
Oh night divine.
Oh night, when Christ was born.
Oh night, divine, oh holy night
Oh 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 Kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend.
He knows our need, our weakness is 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 shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within praise His holy name
Christ is Lord, O praise His name forever
His power and glory evermore proclaim!
His power and glory evermore proclaim! |
