O holy night, the stars are brightly shining,
          G            D             G
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth.
G                     C             G
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
         Bm             F#7           Bm
Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth.

  D         D/F#      G
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,

For yon—der  breaks a new and glorious morn.

Fall on your knees, 
  Am             Em
O hear the angel voices.
  G    D    G    C
O nig——ht divine,
  G   D                 G
O night when Christ was born;
  D         G   C
O nig——ht divine,
  G   D            G
O night, O night Divine.
 
G                     C         G
Truly He taught us to love one another;
           G            D         G
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
G                                      
Chains shall He break 
        C            G
For the slave is our brother; 
           Bm         F7             Bm
And in His name all oppression shall cease.

Sweet hymns of joy

In grateful chorus raise we,

Let all  with—in  us praise His holy name.

Christ is the Lord.

Evermore proclaim.

His power and glory
