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 pinning |
|
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 |
|
O night divine |
|
O night when christ was born |
|
O night divine, o night, 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 came the wise men from orient land |
|
The king of king's lay thus in lowly manger |
|
In all our trials born to be our friend |
|
He knows our need |
|
Our weakness 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 cease |
|
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we |
|
Let all within us praise his holy name |
|
Christ is the lord |
|
Oh praise his name forever |
|
His pow'r and glory |
|
Ever more proclaim |
|
His pow'r and glory ever more proclaim |
