lifeblood: songs: lyrics: o holy night

oh 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
oh hear
the angel voices
oh night divine
oh night
when christ was born
oh night
oh holy night
oh 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

fall
on your knees
oh hear
the angel voices
oh night devine
oh night
when christ was born

fall
on your knees
oh hear
the angel voices
oh night divine
oh night
when christ was born
oh night
oh holy night
oh night
divine
oh night
oh holy night
oh night divine
