Point Of Grace - Oh Holy Night lyrics

Words by chappeau de roquemaure Translated by john s. dwight Oh 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 appear'd and the soul felt its 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 Oh night divine Oh night when christ was born Oh night divine Oh 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 come the wise men from orient land The king of kings lay thus in lowly manger In all our trials born to be our friend. 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.
