O Holy Night: A Divine Symphony of Hope and Redemption
Lyrics
O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining
The night is illuminated brightly with stars.
It is the night of our dear Saviors birth
This night marks the birth of our beloved Savior.
Long lay the world in sin and error pinning
The world remained in sin and mistake for a long time.
'Til He appeared and the
Until the moment He appeared,
Soul felt it's worth
The soul recognized its value and significance.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
A sense of hopefulness fills the weary world,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morning
As a new and magnificent morning breaks in the distance.
Fall on your knees O hear the angel voices
Emphasis on kneeling and listening to angelic voices,
O night divine O night when Christ was born
Describing the night as divine, the night of Christ's birth.
O night divine O night O night divine
Reiteration of the divine nature of this exceptional night.
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming
Guided by the illuminating light of faith,
With glowing hearts by his cradle we stand
We stand with heartfelt devotion by His cradle.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Similar emphasis on being led by a brightly shining star,
Here came the wise man from orient land
Illustrating the journey of the wise men from the East.
The King of Kings lay thus in holy manger
Portrayal of the King of Kings in a humble manger,
In all our trials born to be our friend
Born to be a companion in our struggles and trials.
He knows our needs To our
Understanding our needs, familiar with our weaknesses,
Weakness is no stranger
He identifies with our vulnerabilities.
Behold your King Before Him lowly bend
Encouragement to bow humbly before our King,
Behold your King Before Him lowly bend
Reiteration to bow in reverence to the King.
Truly he taught us to love one another
He taught us the essence of loving one another,
His law is Love and his gospel is Peace
His teachings emphasize love and peace.
Chains shall he break for the
He will break the chains of slavery,
Slave is our brother
Recognizing all as siblings in His name.
And in his name all oppression shall cease
In His name, oppression will come to an end.
Sweet hymns of Joy in
We express joy through hymns and
Grateful chorus raise we
A chorus of gratitude, praising His name.
Let all within us praise his holy name
Encouragement to praise His name with all that we are.

His pow'r and glory ev'r more proclaim
Continual proclamation of His power and glory.
His pow'r and glory ev'r more proclaim
Emphasis again on proclaiming His eternal power and glory.
