Intro: C 

C                 F                  C 
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining 
                       G              C 
It is the night of our dear saviour's birth 
                      F             C 
Long lay the world in sin and error pining 
          Em             B7            Em 
'Til he appeared and the soul felt its worth 
  G                   C             
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices 
    G               C                      Am 
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn 



             Em        
Fall on your knees 
  Dm             Am 
O hear the angel voices 
  C G     C      
O night divine 
F     C    G7               C 
O O O night when Christ was born 
  G7    
O night 
  C F  C    G7 
O holy night 
          C 
O night divine 


C                      F         C 
Truly, he taught us to love one another 
                        G7        C 
His law is love and his gospel is peace 
                               F            C 
Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother 
           Em          B7             Em 
And in his name, all oppression shall cease 
  G                   C             
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices 
    G               C                      Am 
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn 


             Em        
Fall on your knees 
  Dm             Am 
O hear the angel voices 
  C G     C      
O night divine 
F    C    G7               C 
O O  night when Christ was born 
  G7    
O night 
  C F  C    G7 
O holy night 
          C 
O night divine
