Oh Holy Night
Verse 1
Oh Holy Night! The stars are brightly shi-ning
It is the night of the dear Saviour’s birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth

For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Oh, hear the angel voices

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 come the wisemen from Orient land

In all our trials born to be our friend

To our weakness is no stranger

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

Let all within us praise His holy name

And makes the nations prove
