O Holy Night Lyrics

[Verse 1]
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our 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
For yonder breaks, a new and glorious morn

[Refrain]
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angels’ voices!
O night divine! O night when Christ was born
O night divine! O night, O night divine!

[Verse 2]
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
Let all within us praise His holy name

[Refrain]
Christ is the Lord! And we shall ever praise Him
His power and glory, evermore proclaim
O night divine! O night, O night when Christ was born
[Interlude]

[Bridge]
Fall on your knees, give Him the glory
Fall on your knees, Jesus is worthy
Of all praises, of all praises

[Refrain]
O night divine! O night when Christ was born
O night divine! O night, O night when Christ was born

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
