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

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, O holy night, O night divine

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

In all our trials born to be our Friend
He knows our need
To weakness is no stranger
Behold your King, before Him lowly bend
Behold your King, before Him lowly bend

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

Christ is the Lord, O praise His name forever
His power and glory evermore proclaim
His power and glory evermore proclaim

What Child Is This?
Unknown | William Chatterton Dix

Stanza 1
What Child is this who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping
This this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste haste to bring Him laud
The Babe the Son of Mary

Stanza 2
Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and donkey are feeding
Good Christian fear for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through
The cross be borne for me for you
Hail hail the Word made flesh
The Babe the Son of Mary
