Whitney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

O holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear savior's birth (oh yes it is now)
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
'Til 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
O hear the angels' voices
O night divine
Oh, oh night when Christ was born
Oh night
Oh holy, holy night
Oh night di- divine

Fall on your knees
O hear the angels' voices
O night divine
Oh, oh night, oh when Christ was born
Oh night
Oh night
Oh holy night




Oh night divine
Mmm
