O holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It 'tis the night of our dear savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'til he appeared and the soul felt it's worth.
A prayer 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

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.

Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night, when christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night, when christ was born [**a**]
Oh night, when christ was born
When christ was born

Oh night, when christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night, when christ was born
Christ was born

[alternate ending - (fan club christmas cd 1996)]
[beginning at **a** above. ]
Oh night, when christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night, when christ was born
When christ was born
Christ was born
