O Holy Night

O holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night
Of our dear Saviour's birth

Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
Till He appeared
And the soul felt His 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
When Christ was born

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

Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night
When Christ was born

O night
O night
When Christ was born
