O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till 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 angels' voices
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night divine, O night, O night divine
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 raise we
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
Fall on your knees, O hear the angels' voices
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night divine
And the angels cry, holy
All creation cries, holy
You are lifted high, holy, holy forever
Hear Your people sing, holy
To the King of Kings, holy
You will always be holy, holy forever
Your Name is the highest
Your Name is the greatest
Your Name stands above them all
Above all thrones and dominions
All powers and positions
Your Name stands above them all
Your Name is the highest
Your Name is the greatest
Your Name stands above them all
Above all thrones and dominions
All powers and positions
Your Name stands above them all
And the angels cry, holy
All creation cries, holy
You are lifted high, holy, holy forever
Hear Your people sing, holy
To our King of Kings, holy
You will always be holy, holy forever
You will always be holy, holy forever
You will always be holy
Holy forever and ever
You will always be holy, holy forever
