1 O holy night, the stars are brightly shining! This is the night of our dear Saviour's birth. 2 Long lay the world in sin and error pining, till he appeared, and the soul felt its worth. 3 A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. 4 Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices! 5 O night divine, O night when Christ was born! O night divine, O night divine! 6 Truly he taught us to love one another. His law is love, and his gospel is peace. 7 And chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother, and in his name all oppression shall cease. 8 O sweet hymns of joy, in grateful chorus raise we, let all within us praise his holy name. 4 Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices! 5 O night divine, O night when Christ was born! O night divine, O night divine! 1 O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
