SAviour's Day II

Lyrics

O Holy Night

O holy night the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining

‘Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth

A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices

For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!

 

Fall on your knees!
O hear the angel voices!
O night divine! O night when Christ was born!

O night divine! O night when Christ was born!

 

Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
Led by the light of a star sweetly beaming
Here come the wisemen from Orient land
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend

He knows our need, to our weakness 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 raising

Let all within us praise His holy name!

 

Christ is the Lord!
O praise His name forever!
His power and glory evermore proclaim!

His power and glory evermore proclaim!
