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
Till He appeared
And the soul felt it's 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!
O night divine
O 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
So led by light of a star
Sweetly gleaming
Here came the wise men
From Orient land
The King of Kings lay thus
In lowly manger
In all our trials
Born to be our friend!
He knows our need
To our weakness no stranger
Behold your King!
Before the lowly bend!
Behold your King! your King!
Before Him bend

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
Oh praise His name forever
His pow'are and glory evermore proclaim
His pow'are and glory
Evermore proclaim
