o holy night the stars are brightly shining it is the night of the dear saviours birth long lay the world in sin and error pining till he appeared and the soul felt its worth a thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn fall on your knees oh hear the angel voices o night divine oh night when christ was born o night divine oh night oh night divine truly he taught us to love one another his law is love and his gospel is peace chains he shall break for the slave is our brother and in his name all oppression shall cease sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we with all our hearts we praise his holy name fall on your knees oh hear the angel voices o night divine oh night when christ was born o night divine oh night oh night divine
