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 Til he appear'd 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 night divine 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 come the wise men from orient land The king of kings lay thus in lowly manger In all our trials born to be our friend Fall on your knees o hear the angel voices O night divine o night when christ was born O night divine o night divine O night divine o night when christ was born O night divine o night divine
