Words by chappeau de roquemaure<br>Translated by john s. dwight<br><br>Oh holy night!<br>The stars are brightly shining<br>It is the night of the dear savior's birth!<br>Long lay the world in sin and error pining<br>Till he appear'd and the soul felt it's worth.<br>A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices<br>For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!<br><br>Fall on your knees<br>Oh hear the angel voices<br>Oh night divine<br>Oh night when christ was born<br>Oh night divine<br>Oh night divine<br><br>Led by the light of faith serenely beaming<br>With glowing hearts by his cradle we stand<br>So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming<br>Here come the wise men from orient land<br>The king of kings lay thus in lowly manger<br>In all our trials born to be our friend.<br><br>Truly he taught us to love one another<br>His law is love and his gospel is peace<br>Chains shall he break for the slave is our brother<br>And in his name all oppression shall cease<br>Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,<br>Let all within us praise his holy name.
