O' Holy Night
Daniel O'Donnell · Other Songs - Daniel O'Donnell
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 it's 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
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming
Now come the wise men from out of 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
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
