VERSE 1
[A]O holy night, the [D/A]stars are brightly [A]shining, It is the [F#m]night of the [E]dear Savior's [D]birth.
[A]Long lay the world in [D]sin and error [A]pining, till He ap[C#m]peared and the [G#7]soul felt its [C#m]worth.
A [E7sus]thrill of [E]hope, the [D/A]weary world re[Asus]joic --- [A]es, for [E7sus]yonder [E]breaks a [D/A]new and glorious [A  E/G#]morn.
[F#m]Fall on your [C#m]knees! O [Bm]hear the angel [F#m]voices!
O [E]night [E/D]      di[A/C#]vine,  [D]   O [A/E]night   [E7sus]  when Christ was [A]born!

VERSE 2
[A]Humbly He lay, Cre[D/A]ator come as [A]creature, born on the [F#m]floor of a [E]hay-scattered [D]stall.
[A]True Son of God, yet [D]bearing human [A]feature, He entered [C#m]earth to re[G#7]verse Adam's [C#m]fall.
In [E7sus]towering [E]grace, He [D/A]laid aside His [Asus]glo --- [A]ry, and [E7sus]in our [E]place was [D/A]sacrificed for [A  E/G#]sin.
[F#m]Fall on your [C#m]knees! O [Bm]hear the gospel [F#m]story! 
O [E]night [E/D]      di[A/C#]vine,  [D]   O [A/E]night   [E7sus]  when Christ was [A]born!
O [E]night,[E/D]     O [A/C#]ho ----[D]- ly  [A/E]night   [E7sus]  when Christ was [A        | D/A]born!

VERSE 3
[A]Come then to Him who [D/A]lies within the [A]manger, with joyful [F#m]shepherds [E]proclaim Him as [D]Lord.
[A]Let not the [E/G#]promised [D]Son remain a [F#m]stranger; in reverent [C#m]worship, make [G#7]Christ your A[C#m]dored.
E[E7sus]ternal [E]life is [D/A]theirs who will re[Asus]ceive [A]Him; with [E7sus]grace and [E]peace their [D/A]lives He will a[A  E/G#]dorn.
[F#m]Fall on your [C#m]knees! Re[Bm]ceive the Gift of [F#m]heaven!
O [E]night [E/D]      di[A/C#]vine,  [D]   O [A/E]night   [E7sus]  when Christ was [A]born!
O [E]night,[E/D]     O [A/C#]ho ----[D]- ly  [A/E]night   [E7sus]  when Christ was [A       <i>TAG last 3 lines A.C.</i>]born!
