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
The night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night
O night divine

Led by the light
Of faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts
By His cradle we stand

O'er the world
A star is sweetly gleaming
Now come the wisemen
From out of the Orient land

The King of kings
Lay thus lowly manger
In all our trials
Born to be our friends
