Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Saviors birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appeared and the soul felt its 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
O night divine! O night, when Christ was born
O night divine! O night, o night divine!

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth

Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful raise we
With all our hearts we praise his holy name

Fall on your knees, o hear the angel voices
O night divine! O night, when Christ was born

Fall on your knees, o hear the angel voices




O night divine! O night, when Christ was born
O night divine! O night, o night divine!
