O Holy Night

With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
Here came the wise men from the orient land
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
Christ is the Lord, then ever, ever praise we
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Let all within us praise His holy name

O night divine, O night when Christ was born
And in His name all oppression shall cease
His power and glory evermore proclaim
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
He knows our need, to our weakness no stranger

A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Behold your King, your King, before Him lowly bend
Behold your King, before Him lowly bend

Truly He taught us to love one another
Long lay the world in sin and error pining

O night divine, O night when Christ was born
Fall on your knees, oh, hear the angel voices
In all our trials born to be our friend
His law is love and His gospel is peace
