O night divine! O night when Christ was born Truly He taught, to love one another His law is love and His gospel it is peace And chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother And in His name all oppression shall cease Fall on your knees, and hear the angels' voices! O night divine! O night when Christ was born Fall on your knees, and hear the angels' voices! O night divine! O night when Christ was born
