Il testo della O holy night!

O holy night!

Verse 1

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 

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 

Chorus 1

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! 

Verse 2

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by his cradle we stand 
O'er 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

Chorus 2

He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger. 
Behold your king! before him lowly bend! 
Behold your king! before him lowly bend! 

Instrumental

Verse 3

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
With all our hearts we praise his holy name

Chorus 3

Christ is the lord! and his name, forever praise we. 
His power and his glory ever more proclaim! 
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
