John McDermott - O Holy Night lyrics

rate me

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

'Til He appeared

And the soul felt its worth

A thrill of hope

The weary world 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 divine, O night, O night divine

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming

With glowing hearts

By His cradle we stand

So led by the light

Of a star sweetly gleaming

There 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

He guardeth us from danger

Behold your King

Before Him lowly bend

Behold you King

Before Him lowly bend
