Annie Haslam O Holy Night Lyrics

O Holy Night 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; O, 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 by his cradle we
stand;

So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,

Here came the
wise men 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
weaknesses is no stranger.

Behold your King, before him lowly 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 raise we;

Let all within us praise his holy
name;

Christ is the Lord, O, Praise his name forever.

His power and
glory every more proclaim!
