O Holy Night (Hear the Gospel Story)
[Verse 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
Till He appeared 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, O hear the angel voices
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night, O holy night when Christ was born

[Verse 2]
Humbly He lay, Creator come as creature
Born on the floor of a hay-scattered stall
True Son of God, yet bearing human feature
He entered earth to reverse Adam’s fall
In towering grace, He laid aside His glory
And in our place, was sacrificed for sin
Fall on your knees, O hear the gospel story
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night, O holy night when Christ was born

[Verse 3]
Come then to Him Who lies within the manger
With joyful shepherds, proclaim Him as Lord
Let not the Promised Son remain a stranger
In reverent worship, make Christ your Adored
Eternal life is theirs who would receive Him
With grace and peace, their lives He will adorn
Fall on your knees, receive the Gift of heaven
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night, O holy night when Christ was born
