Lyrics
1. O holy night,
the Babe lies in the manger,
O holy night,
He sleeps there in the hay.
2. O holy night,
He’s watched by mother Mary;
O holy night,
He sleeps ’til break of day.
3. O holy night,
The star was brightly shining;
O holy night,
When angels sang their lay.
4. O holy night,
When shepherds came to worship!
O holy night,
In awe they came to pray.
5. O holy night,
The kings bowed low before Him;
O holy night,
The Babe smiles as they pray.
6. O holy night,
The brightest dawn is breaking,
O holy night,
When Jesus came to stay.
