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