O Holy Night Lyrics - Living Room Sessions: Christmas - Chris Rice

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 

Till He appeared and the Spirit 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 

O night divine, the night when Christ was born 

O night, O holy night, O night divine 

O night, O holy night, O night divine 

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming 

With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand 

Over the world a star is sweetly gleaming 

Now come the wise men from out of the Orient land 

The King of kings lay thus lowly manger 

In all our trials born to be our friends 

He knows our need, our weakness is 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 he shall break, for the slave is our brother 

And in his name all oppression shall cease 

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we 

With all our hearts we praise His holy name 

Christ is the Lord, then ever, ever praise we 

His power and glory ever more proclaim 

His power and glory ever more proclaim
