Song Lyrics

Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
O holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior'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, O night, O night divine

Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices

For the slave is our brother
And in His name
All oppression shall cease
With hymns of joy

In grateful chorus
Let every heart, adore His name
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night divine

Adolphe Adam
