Truly He Taught Us to Love One Another; His Law Is Love and His Gospel Is Peace.

Oh, Holy Night!
The stars are shining brightly.
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Until He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of HOPE
The weary world rejoices,
Now breaks a new and glorious morning.
FALL ON YOUR KNEES!
Oh, HEAR THE ANGELS' VOICES!
O Night Divine,
When Christ was born;
O Night Divine.
Led the by light of faith
serenely beaming,
with glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
here come the wise men from the 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.
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!
Oh, Praise His Name Forever!
His Power and Glory Eternally Proclaim!
