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 world felt its worth A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn Fall on your knees Oh hear the angel voices Oh night divine Oh night divine Led by the light of faith serenely beaming With glowing hearts by his cradle we stand So led by a light of a star sweetly gleaming Here come the men from the orient land The king of kings lay thus in lowly manger In all our trials born to be our friend Fall on your knees Oh hear the angel voices Oh night divine Oh night when Christ was born Oh night divine Oh night divine
