1.

O Ho-ly night the stars are bright-ly shin-ing, 
it is the night of the dear Sav-ior's birth; 
Long lay the world in sin and er-ror pin-ing, 
till He ap-peared and the soul felt its worth. 

A thrill of hope the wea-ry soul re-joic-es, 
for yon-der breaks a new and glo-rious morn; 
Fall on your knees, 
oh, hear the an-gel voic-es! 
O night di-vine 
o night when Christ was born! 
O night 
O Ho-ly night 
O night di-vine!

2.
Tru-ly He taught_us to love _ one an-oth-er, 
His law is love, and His gos-pel is peace; 
Chains shall He break_for the slave _ is our broth-er, 
and in His name all op-pres-sion shall cease. 

Sweet hymns of joy in grate-ful cho-rus raise we, 
let all with-in us praise His ho-ly name; 
Christ is the Lord, 
oh, praise His name for-ev-er! 
His pow'r and glo-ry 
ev-er more pro-claim!
His pow'r and glo-ry 
ev-er more pro-claim!
