Merry Christmas to all

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 soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope,
the weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new
and glorious morn.

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!

Led by the light of faith
serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts
by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star
sweetly gleaming,
Here came the wise men
from Orient land.
The King of kings
lay thus in lowly manger,
In all our trials
born to be our friend!

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 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,
let all within us
praise His holy Name!

Christ is the Lord,
Oh praise his name forever
His pow'r and glory
ever more proclaim
His pow'r and glory
ever more proclaim
