Burl Ives - O Holy Night lyrics
[Burl Ives - O Holy Night lyrics]
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 it's 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
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming
Now come thе wise men from
Out of the Oriеnt land
The King of kings lay this 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 evermore proclaim!
His power and glory evermore proclaim
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 it's 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
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming
Now come thе wise men from
Out of the Oriеnt land
The King of kings lay this 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 evermore proclaim!
His power and glory evermore proclaim
