There's a star in the east on Christmas morn Rise up, shepherd, and follow It will lead to the place where the babe is born Rise up, shepherd, and follow 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 pining Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn Fall on your knees O hear the angel voices of night divine O night when Christ was born O holy night, O holy 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 We let all within us praise His holy name Christ is the Lord O praise His name forever His power and glory evermore proclaim His power and glory evermore proclaim A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn Fall on your knees O hear the angel voices of night divine O night when Christ was born O holy night, O holy night O night divine Rise up, shepherd, and follow
