O Holy Night

(traditional)



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 beams a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees

Oh, hear the angel voices

O night divine, o night when christ was born

O night divine, o night, o night divine



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 me

Let all within us praise his holy name

Christ is the lord

Then ever, we will praise thee

O night divine! o night when christ was born

O night divine! o night, o night divine
