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 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, O Holy Night , O night divine!
|
O night, O Holy 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.
|
|
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger,
|
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
|
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
|
|
Truly He taught us to love one another,
|
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
|
Chains he shall 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.
|
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
|
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
|
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
|
