A 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 soul felt its worth A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices Free under breaks and new and glorious morn Fall on your knees, oh hear the angel voices Oh night divine, oh night when Christ was born Oh night, oh holy night, oh night divine Truly He taught us to love one another His law is love and His gospel is peace Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother 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 and ever, ever praise we His power and glory evermore proclaim His power and glory evermore proclaim He knows our need, to our weakness no stranger Behold your King Before Him lowly bend Behold your King, your King Before Him bend Before Him lowly bend
