1. O holy night, the stars are brightly shining;
2. Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
3. Truly he taught us to love one another;
G D G
It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth.
With glowing hearts by his cradle we stand.
His law is love and his gospel is peace.
G C G G7
Long lay the world in sin and error pin - ing,
So led by light of a star sweetly gleam - ing,
Chains shall he break, for the slave is our bro - ther,
Bm F#7 Bm
Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.
Here came the Wise Men from Orient land.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
D7 G
A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices,
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we;
D7 G
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
In all our trials born to be our Friend.
Let all within us praise his holy name.
Em Bm
Fall on your knees!
He knows our need—
Christ is the Lord!
Am Em
O hear the angel voices!
to our weakness is no stranger.
O praise his name forever!
G D7 G C
O night divine,
Be–hold your King,
His pow’r and glory
G D7 G
O night when Christ was born
before him lowly bend!
ever - - - more proclaim!
D D7 G Am G D7 G
O night, O holy night, O night di - - - vine!
Be–hold your King, before him lowly bend!
His pow’r and glory ever–more proclaim!
