High Wycombe Church

Verse 1

O holy night!
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our
Dear Saviour's birth
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 angel voices!
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night when Christ was born

Verse 2

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

He knows our need
to our weakness is no stranger
Behold Your King!
Before Him lowly bend
Behold Your King!
Before Him lowly bend

Verse 3

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

Christ is the Lord!
Oh, praise His name forever
His pow’r and glory
ever more proclaim!
His pow’r and glory
ever more proclaim!

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