Lyrics
O HOLY NIGHT - by Adolphe Adam and Placide Cappeau
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
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, oh holy night
O night divine
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here came the wisemen from Orient land
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our Friend
He knows our need,
To our weakness is no stranger
Behold your King, before Him lowly bend
Behold your King, before Him lowly bend
Christ is the Lord
O Praise His Name forever
His power and glory evermore proclaim
His power and glory evermore proclaim
