O Holy Night

~ 1st verse ~
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
‘Til 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! O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born;
O night, O Holy Night, O night divine!

~ 2nd verse ~
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star so 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!

~ 3rd verse ~
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! O praise His name forever
His pow’r and glory evermore, evermore proclaim!
His pow’r and glory

His pow’r and glory…
Evermore proclaim!
