As a wine commissionaire and a part-time poet he wrote the song in celebration of recent stained-glass renovations at a local church in Roquemaure, France. We are blessed to enjoy it during the holiday season. [VERSE 1] O Holy Night! the stars are brightly shining; 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. A thrill of hope - the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. Fall on your knees, O Hear the Angel voices. O night... Divine (Divine), O night... when Christ was born! O night, O Holy Night...., O Night Divine. (O Night Divine) [VERSE 2] Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand. (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. (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. (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. (shall cease) Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we; Let all within us praise His holy name. (his holy name) Christ is the Lord. O praise His name forever. His power and glory, evermore proclaim. His power and glory, evermore proclaim. (Evermore proclaim.......) [END]
