December 24
The stars are brightly
shining,
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay
the world in sin and error pining
'Til He appeared and the soul
felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For
yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees, O hear
the angels' voices!
O night divine,O night when Christ was born,
O
night divine, O night divine, 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,
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; to our weakness is no stranger.
Behold your King! Before
him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
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 evermore proclaim!
His power and glory evermore
proclaim!
