O holy
night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is
the night of the dear Saviour'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;
n 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!
