O holy night! The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear saviour's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appeared and the soul felt his worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees and hear the angels' voices!
O night divine, o night when christ was born
O night divine, o night when christ was born

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 raise we
Let all within us praise his holy name
Christ is the lord! O praise his name for ever
His power and glory ever more, ever more proclaim!
O night divine, o night, o night divine

O holy night
