O holy night, the stars are brightly shining;

It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth!
C                     F             C
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,

Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
  G7        G         C            
A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices,
    G7     G        C                
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
                           G7        C
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
C                    F            C
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
              Em            B7     Em
Here came the wise men from Orient land.
    G7      G         C
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,
   G7      G      C

Truly He taught us to love one another;
                        G7        C
His law is love and His Gospel is peace.
C                             F            C
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,
    G7      G     C
Let all within us praise His holy Name!
