ADOLPHE ADAM --1847
Oh Holy Night

C ------------- F -------------- C ---- G ------------ C ---------
1) O holy night, the stars are brightly shining -- It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth
2) Led by the light of faith serenely beaming -- With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
3) Truly He taught us to love one another -- His law is love, and His gospel is peace

C ------------- F ----------- C -------- Em -------- B7 --------- Em --
1) Long lay the world in sin and error pining -- Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth
2) So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming -- Here came the wise men from Orient land
3) Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother -- And in His name all oppression shall cease

G ----------- C ----------------------------- G ----------- C ---------
1) A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices -- For yonder breaks, a new and glorious morn
2) The King of Kings, lay thus in lowly manger -- In all our trials born to be our friend
3) Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we -- Let all within us praise His holy name

bridge 1: Am Fall on Em your knees, oh Dm hear the angel Am voices

chorus: C O G night C di - F vine
O C night when G Christ C was born
G O C night, Dm O holy C night, G O night C divine

bridge 2: Am He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger
Behold, your king --- Before Him lowly bend -- Behold, your king before Him lowly bend

bridge 3: Am Christ is the Lord, O praise His name forever
His power and glory ever more proclaim
