Chris Rice O Holy Night Lyrics

O Holy Night Lyrics

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 Spirit felt its worth



A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices

For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees, oh, hear the angel voices

O night divine, the night when Christ was born

O night, O holy night, O night divine

O night, O holy night, O night divine



Led by the light of faith serenely beaming

With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand

Over the world a star is sweetly gleaming

Now come the wise men from out of the Orient land



The King of kings lay thus lowly manger

In all our trials born to be our friends

He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger

Behold your King, before him lowly bend

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 he shall break, for the slave is our brother

And in his name all oppression shall cease



Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we

With all our hearts we praise His holy name

Christ is the Lord, then ever, ever praise we

His power and glory ever more proclaim

His power and glory ever more proclaim
