Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the ancient voices.

Oh, night divide
Oh, night when Christ was bored.
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angels' voices
Oh, night divine
Oh, night when Christ was born.
Fall onion dears
Oh, hear the angels' voices
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angels' voices.
For yonder breaks a new inglorious morn
Fall on your niece, oh hear the angel voices!
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees, oh hear the angel voices!
For younger breaks a new and glorious morph
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
For younger breaks a new glorious morph

Insane and error timing
In sin and error pining
Insane and error timing
In sin and error pining
Long lady whirled in sin and bared her hiney.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining..
Long lady whirled in sin and bared her hiney.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Long live the world in sin and error pining.
Long lived the world in sin and error biding.
O hold me tight
O holy night
O hold me tight
O holy night
O hold me tight
O holy night
Oneida knives
O night divine
Oneida knives
O night divine
This is the night of the deerslayer's birth
This is the night of the dear Savior's birth
Till He appeared and this hole felt its worth
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
