O Holy Night!

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 reoi!es,
"or yonder brea#s a new and glorious $orn.
"all on your #nees! Oh, hear the angel voi!es!
O night divine, the night when %hrist was born&
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
Led by the light of faith serenely bea$ing,
'ith glowing hearts by His !radle we stand.
O'er the world a star is sweetly glea$ing,
(ow !o$e the wise$en fro$ out of the Orient land.
The )ing of #ings lay thus lowly $anger&
In all our trials born to be our friends.
He #nows our need, our wea#ness is no stranger,
*ehold your )ing! *efore hi$ lowly bend!
*ehold your )ing! *efore hi$ lowly bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is pea!e.
%hains he shall brea#, for the slave is our brother.
And in his na$e all oppression shall !ease.
Sweet hy$ns of oy in grateful !horus raise we,
'ith all our hearts we praise His holy na$e.
%hrist is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever $ore pro!lai$!
His power and glory ever $ore pro!lai$!
