[C]Oh holy night, the [F]stars are brightly [C]shining It is the night of our [G]dear Savior’s [C]birth [C]Long lay the world in [F]sin and error [C]pining Till he ap[Em]pear’d and the [B]soul felt its [Em]worth. The [G]thrill of hope the [C]weary world rejoices For [G]yonder breaks a [C]new and glorious morn [Am]Fall on your [Em]knees, oh [Dm]hear the angel [Am]voices

Oh [C] [G]night di[C]vine, [F]oh [C]night [G]when Christ was [C]born Oh [G]night di[C]vine, [F]oh [C]night, [G]oh night di[C]vine

[C]Led by the light of [F]Faith serenely [C]beaming With glowing hearts by His [G]cradle we [C]stand [C]So, led by light of a [F]star sweetly [C]gleaming Here come the [Em]wise men [B]from Orient [Em]land The [G]King of kings lay [C]thus in lowly manger In [G]all our trials born to [C]be our friend. [Am]He knows our [Em]need, To our [Dm]weakness no [Am]stranger!

Be [C]hold [G]your [C]King! [F] [C]Before [G]Him lowly [C]bend! Be [G]hold your [C]King! [F]Your [C]King! [G]Before Him [C]bend!

[C]Truly He taught us, to [F]love one [C]another His law is love and His [G]gospel is [C]peace [C]Chains shall He break for the [F]slave is our [C]brother And in His [Em]name all [B]oppression shall [Em]cease Sweet [G]hymns of joy in [C]grateful chorus raise we, Let [G]all within us [C]praise His holy name. [Am]Christ is the [Em]Lord, then [Dm]ever! ever [Am]praise we!

His [C]power [G]and [C] [F]glory, [C]ever[G]more [C]proclaim! His [G]power and [C]glory, [F] [C]ever[G]more [C]proclaim
