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! O hear the angel voices! |
|
O night divine, O night when Christ was born! |
|
O holy night, O holy night, O holy night! |
|
|
|
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 us praise his holy name. |
|
Christ is the Lord! For ever praise we |
|
His power and glory evermore proclaim. |
