O Holy Night



C Em
Oh holy night!
F C
The stars are brightly shining
G C
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth!
C Em F C
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
E Dm E
Till he appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
G C
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
G C
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!


Am Em
Fall on your knees
Dm Am
Oh hear the angel voices
C G C F
Oh night divine
C G C
Oh night when Christ was born
G G/F C/E F
Oh night divine
C G C
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


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

O Little Town of Bethlehem



Written by Phillips Brooks
Music by Lewis Redner ("St Louis"),
Ralph Vaughan Williams ("Forest Green"),
Henry Walford Davies
("Wengen" and "Christmas Carol")
Published c. 1865

C F
O little town of Bethlehem
C G C
How still we see thee lie
C C/A# A Dm
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
C/G G C
The silent stars go by
C G/B Am E
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
Am Dm/F E
The everlasting Light
C F
The hopes and fears of all the years
C G C
Are met in thee tonight


For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And Peace to men on earth


How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him still,
The dear Christ enters in.


O holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born to us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel

All Hail! Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning,
O Jesus! for evermore be Thy name adored.
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing;
