G G7 C Dm C G C
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 the wisemen from out of the orient land .
the king of kings lay thus 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!

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 ever more proclaim!
