Libera O Holy Night lyrics

O 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
'til 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 holy night, O holy night

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
Forever praise we
His power and glory
Evermore proclaim
His power and glory
Evermore proclaim

O holy night
