03 - O Holy Night ! The Stars Are Brightly Shining

1. 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 'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth (4 beats) (moderately loud) A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn (2 beats) (Loud) Fall on your knees; O hear the Angel voices! O night divine, O night when Christ was born O night, O Holy night, O night divine! (4 beats) (Moderately soft) 2. Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand So led by the light of a star sweetly gleaming Here come the Wise Men from Orient land (4 beats) (moderately loud) The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger In all our trials born to be our friend (2 beats) (Loud) He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger Behold your King; before Him lowly bend Behold your King; before Him lowly bend (4 beats) (Moderately soft) 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 (4 beats) (moderately loud) Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we Let all within us Praise His Holy name (2 beats) (Loud) Christ is the Lord; O praise His name forever! His power and glory evermore proclaim His power and glory evermore proclaim (4 beats)
