Words by Chappeau de Roquemaure

Translated by John S. Dwight
|
|
Oh holy night!
|
The stars are brightly shining
|
This is the night of the dear Savior's birth!
|
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
|
Till he appear'd 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
|
Oh night divine
|
Oh night when Christ was born
|
Oh night divine
|
Oh night,
|
Oh 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,
|
Let all within us praise His holy name.
|
|
Christ is the Lord
|
Oh praise His name forever
|
His power, and glory evermore proclaim
|
His power, and glory evermore proclaim
|
|
Fall on your knees
|
Oh hear the angel voices
|
Oh night divine
|
Oh night when Christ was born
|
Oh night divine
|
Oh holy night,
|
Oh night divine
|
