<p>O holy night, the stars are brightly shining;<br>
It is the night of the dear Savior&#8217;s birth!<br>
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,<br>
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.<br>
A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices,<br>
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p class="refrain">Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!<br>
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!<br>
O night, O holy night, O night divine!</p>
<p>Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,<br>
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.<br>
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,<br>
Here came the wise men from Orient land.<br>
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,<br>
In all our trials born to be our friend!</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>Truly He taught us to love one another;<br>
His law is love and His Gospel is peace.<br>
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother<br>
And in His Name all oppression shall cease.<br>
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,<br>
Let all within us praise His holy Name!</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
