O Holy Night

© 1855 John Sullivan Dwight

    C                     F                         C 
O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,
              C              G                  C
It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth.
  C                           F                   C
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
             Em                                  Bm 
'Til 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
O hear the angel voices!
    C G   C F        C G                           C  
O night divine, O night when Christ was born;
     G      Dm       C          G       C  
O night divine, O night, O night Divine.

    C                                       F                C
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother;
                  Em                                Bm
And in His name all oppression shall cease.
             G                     C   
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
        G                    C
With all our hearts praise His holy name.

  Am            Em       
Christ is the Lord! 
        Dm           Am
Then ever, ever praise we,
C G   C  F       C       G          C  
Noel, Noel, O night, O night Divine;
  G     Dm  C    G      C
Noel, Noel, O night Divine .
