Christmas greetings from Greet Lyrics Oh Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining, It is the night of the dear Saviour’s birth. Long lay the world in sin and error pining. Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth. A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices! Oh night divine, the night when Christ was born; Oh night divine! Oh night, Oh night divine! Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, With all our hearts we praise His holy name. Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we, Oh, Oh, Oh night Oh night divine divine! Oh night divine! Oh Night, Oh Holy night
