Lyrics to "O Holy Night"

O HOLY NIGHT

1847~Lyrics written by::Placide Cappeau~Composer::Adolphe Adam

O Holy Night
The stars are brightly shining
it is the night
of our dear saviors birth

Long lay the world
in sin and error pining
'til he appeared
and the soul felt it's worth

The thrill of hope
the weary world rejoices
for yonder breaks
a new and glorious morn
oh fall on your knees
oh hear the angel voices!
oh night divine
oh night when Christ was born

oh holy night
oh night divine
oh holy night
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 Pow'r and glory
ever more proclaim!

His Pow'r
and glory
ever more proclaim!
