O Holy Night

O Holy Night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Saviors 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 world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new
And glorious morning

Fall on your knees
O hear the angel 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 man
From orient land

The King of Kings lay thus in holy manger
In all our trials born to be our friend

He knows our needs
To our weakness is no stranger

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 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 power and glory
Ever more proclaim
