O Holy night
Silent trail and starlight
Star among stars it may seem
Zealous over nature's theme
Reveal not an obscure dream
Eye of darkness never behold
Endangered lie as truth unfold
O Bethlehem
Of thee I sing
Ornate chambers of a king
Bliss of Heaven now descend
License my heart to amend
Not by scaling mortal height
A child alone doth make right
Helpless child cradled behold
Helpless yet help me be whole
O glorious sight
My relentless delight
Grandeur of eternity
Dissolve my enmity
From without and within
Legacy of original sin
Perpetual breath incarnate made
Dispel gorge and dreary shade
Smoldering manger a borrowed tomb
Ordinance concealed in Mary's womb
Golgotha's symbol reveal anew
Christ alive my hope renew
Christmas is a time to see
What the manger came to be
