O Holy Night

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
Spirit felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks 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 he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With all our hearts we praise
His holy name.
Christ is the
Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
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!
