O Holy Night Lyrics

[Verse 1]
O, holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It's the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth

[Verse 2]
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
Yonder breaks, a new and glorious morn
Oh, fall on your knees, and hear the angels' voices
Singing, O, night divine

[Verse 3]
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 will cease

[Verse 4]
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy name
O, Christ is the Lord, O, praise His name forever
His power and glory proclaim

[Break]
Shining Star, reaching the clouds with the haste of smoke
Come to the earth to save us
[Bridge]
O, Lord when You came to the earth
O, my soul, my soul felt it's worth
O, my soul, my soul felt a thrill of hope
(and hear the angels' voices)
For yonder breaks, a new and glorious morn

[Outro]
O, fall on your knees and hear the angels' voices
Singing, O, night divine
Singing, O, night, O, this holy night
Singing, O, night divine
