O Holy Night

O Holy Night

Verse 1

O holy night the stars are brightly shiningIt is the night of the dear Savior's birthLong lay the world in sin and error piningTill He appeared and the soul felt its worthA thrill of hope the weary world rejoicesFor yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Chorus 1

Fall on your kneesO hear the angel voicesO night divineO night when Christ was bornO night O holy nightO night divine

Verse 2

Led by the light of faith serenely beamingWith glowing hearts by His cradle we standSo led by light of a star sweetly gleamingHere came the wise men from Orient landThe King of kings lay thus in lowly mangerIn all our trials born to be our Friend

Chorus 2

He knows our needTo our weakness is no strangerBehold your KingBefore Him lowly bendBehold your KingBefore Him lowly bend

Verse 3

Truly He taught us to love one anotherHis law is love and His gospel is peaceChains shall He break for the slave is our brotherAnd in His name all oppression shall ceaseSweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise weLet all within us praise His holy name

Chorus 3

Christ is the LordO praise His name foreverHis power and gloryEvermore proclaimHis power and gloryEvermore proclaim
