Oh, Holy Night

Intro
[Instrumental]
Verse
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 soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope– the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
Verse
Led by the light! of faith serenely
beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here came the Wise Men from Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,
In all our trials born to be our Friend.
He knows our need– to our weakness is no stranger.
Behold your King, before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King, before Him lowly bend!
Verse
Truly He taught us to love one an
-- oth
er; His law is love and His gospel is
peace. Chains shall He break, for the slave is our broth
er. 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! O praise His name forever!
His power and glory evermore proclaim!
His power and glory evermore proclaim!
Optionalending
His power and glo ry evermore proclaim!
