O Holy Night

(album: Joy Has Dawned - 2012)

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 pinning
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth

A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morning

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 light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here came the wise man from orient land

The King of Kings lay thus in holy manger
In all our trials born to be our friend

He knows our needs To our weakness is no stranger
Behold your King Before Him lowly bend
Behold your King Before Him lowly bend

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 O praise his name forever
His pow'r and glory ev'r more proclaim
His pow'r and glory ev'r more proclaim
