Lyrics:
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 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
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new 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
Ooh yes it was Ooh it is the night of our dear Savior's birth Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah It was a holy holy holy, oh oh oh
