O Holy Night

"O Holy Night" is a Christmas song written by John Sullivan Dwight and Adolphe Charles Adam.

Lyrics

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

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 O night when Christ was born

O night O holy night O night divine

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming

With glowing hearts of by His cradle we stand

So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming

Here came the wise men from the Orient land

The King of Kings lay in lowly manger

In all our trials born to be our friend

He knows our need to our weakness no stranger

Behold your King before the lowly bend

Behold your King your King before Him bend

Truly He taught us to love one another

His law is love and His gospel is peace

Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother

And in His name all oppression shall cease

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus rise we

Let all within us praise His holy name

Christ is the Lord then ever ever praise we

His power and glory ever more proclaim

His power and glory ever more proclaim
