O holy night, the stars are brightly shining It is the night of our 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 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 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 and grateful chorus raise We lay it all within us, praise His holy name Fall on your knees, oh hear the angel voices O night divine O night when Christ was born O night divine Christ is the Lord O praise His name forever His power and glory evermore 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
