Oh Holy Night Lyrics

Oh Holy Night lyrics

Words by chappeau de roquemaure



Translated by john s. dwight





Oh 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 appear'd and the soul felt
it's 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



Oh night divine



Oh night when christ was born



Oh night divine



Oh night divine





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.



Oh praise his name forever 



His power and glory forever more proclaim



His power and
glory forever more proclaim



Fall on your kness



Oh
hear the angels voices



Oh night divine



Oh night when
christ was born 



Oh night divine 



Oh holy night 



Oh night divine
