lyrics
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night, divine. Oh, night, when Christ was born.
Oh night, divine. Oh, night when Christ was born.
It was the night, when Christ was born.
It was the night, when Christ was born.
It was the night, when Christ was born.
It was the night, when Christ was born.
Silent night, holy night.
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon virgin, mother and child.
Holy infant, so tender and mild.
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Sleep in heavenly peace.
It was the night, when Christ was born.
It was the night, when Christ was born.
It was the night, when Christ was born.
It was the night, when Christ was born.
Family's here, gathered around,
to celebrate, the night we found,
The son of God, our Savior, too.
The best gift, for me and you.
No matter what gifts we give,
the love of Christ, is why we live.
This gift from God shines so bright,
Like the shining star on Christmas night.
Chorus x 2
It was the night, when Christ was born.
It was the night, when Christ was born.
It was the night, when Christ was born.
It was the night, when Christ was born.
Family's here, gathered around,
to celebrate, the night we found,
The son of God, our Savior, too.
The best gift, for me and you.
It was the night, when Christ was born.
It was the night, when Christ was born.
It was the night, when Christ was born.
It was the night, when Christ was born.
