O holy night

Song composer: Þjóðlag

	G	C	G
	O holy night, the	stars are brightly	shining.

	D	G
It is the night of our	dear saviour's	birth;

	C	G
Long lay the world in	sin and error	pining,

	D	D7
Till he ap	peared and the soul felt his	worth.

	D	G
A	thrill of hope, the	weary world rejoices,

	D	G
For	yonder breaks a	new and glorious morn.

		Em	D7	G
		fall on your	knees! Oh, hear the angels'	voices!

		C	G	D	G
		O night di	vine, o	night, when christ was	born!

		D	G	C	D	G
	O	night, o holy	night, o	night	di	vine!

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 came 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, our weakness is no stranger.

Behold your king! Before him lowly bend!

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, oh praise his name forever!

His pow'r and glory evermore proclaim!
