o holy night the stars are brightly shining it is the night of our dear savior s birth long lay the world in sin and error pining til he appeared and the soul felt its worth a thrill of hope the weary world rejoices for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn fall on your knees o hear the angel voices o night divine o night when christ was born o night divine o night o night divine led by the light of faith serenely beaming with glowing hearts by his cradle we stand o er the world a star is sweetly gleaming here come the wise men from orient land the king of kings lay thus lowly manger in all our trials born to be our friends fall on your knees o hear the angel voices o night divine o night when christ was born o night divine o night o night divine
