  			*I have written this out in the key of C, if you want to make it higher or 
lower use a capo or see my lesson under "Capo conversion/transposing" to  
change the key to suit your voice. (I added the key of G at the bottom)

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  
C                     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 
For yonder breaks, a new and glorious morn  
Am            Em       Dm             Am 
Fall on your knees, oh hear the angel voices  
   C  G    C  F 
O night divine  
   C   G                C  
O night when Christ was born  
   G       C Dm   C    G           C 
O night, O holy night, O night divine  
 
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 came 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, 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, O praise His name forever 
His power and glory ever more proclaim
