O holy night! The stars are brightly shining.
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
'Til He appeared and the soul felt His worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks the new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees, O hear the angels voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born.
O holy night Holy night divine!
