jim nabors - o holy night lyrics

o holy night – version 1:

oh 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 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, 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.
he knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger,
behold your king! before him lowly bend!
behold your king, behold your king.
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! o praise his name forever,
his power and glory evermore proclaim.
his power and glory evermore proclaim.

o holy night – version 2:

o! holy night! the stars, their gleams prolonging,
watch o’er the eve of our dear saviour’s birth.
long lay the world in sin and error, longing
for his appearance, then the spirit 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!
o night divine, the night when christ was born;
o night, o holy night, o night divine!
led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
with glowing hearts we stand by the babe adored.
o’er the world a star is sweetly gleaming,
and come now, shepherds, from your flocks unboard.
the son of god lay thus w’thin lowly manger;
in all our trials born to be our lord.
he knows our need, our weakness never lasting,
behold your king! by him, let earth accord!
behold your king! by him, let earth accord!
truly he taught us to love one another,
his law is love and his gospel is peace.
long live his truth, and may it last forever,
for in his name all discordant noise 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!
his power and glory ever more proclaim!
(the second and third choruses are often replaced with
a refrain of the first). a refrain (from the old french
refraindre to repeat, likely from vulgar latin
refringere) is the line or lines that are repeated in
music or in verse; the chorus of a song. …
