O Holy Night

Music: Adolphe Adam · Lyrics: John Sullivan Dwight
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 divine, O night divine!
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand Over the world a star is sweetly gleaming Now come the wisemen from Orient land The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger; In all our trials born to be our friends
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices! O night divine, the night when Christ was born; O night divine, O night divine!
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
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices! O night divine, the night when Christ was born; O night divine, O night divine!
