Song Lyrics

O holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night
Of our dear savior's birth
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
'Til he appeared and the soul felt its worth

A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn (oh oh oh)
Fall on your knees (fall on your knees)
O hear the angels' voices (voices)
O night divine (O night, O divine)
O 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
With all our hearts we praise his holy name (we praise his name)

Fall on your knees (fall on your knees)
O hear the angels' voices (voices)
O night divine (O night, O divine)
O night when Christ was born
O night divine (O, O divine)
O night
O night divine
O divine
