Given Mabena (Joyous Celebration 18) – O Holy night Lyrics

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth

The thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees, oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine, it is the night when Christ was born
Oh night divine, oh night when christ was born

Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night devine
Yes, a night when christ was born
A night devine
Oh night, oh night devine

Makadunyiswe ngumuntu nengelosi
[Men and angels shall praise Him]
Uphakeme uyimvana kaThixo
[Exalted is the lamb of God]
Wathwes’ umqhele engenaso isici
[He was crowned yet innocent]
EyiNkosi efanel’ ukubongwa
[Lord worthy of our praises]
NguJesu qha idwala laphakade
[Jesus is the only rock of ages]
NguJesu qha iNkosi yokuthula
[Jesus is the only prince of peace]

Khothama kuye uJesu yena yedwa
[Worship Jesus alone]
INkosi yothando
[Lord of love]
Inkosi yomusa
[Lord of mercy]

Iqhawe lamaqhawe
[Hero of heroes]
UNgcwele simakade
[You’re holy almighty]

Khothama kuye[worship Him]
UJesu uyedwa[jesus alone]
Inkos’ eyafa yavuka[Jesus rose from the dead]
Ipheth’ amandla[Powerful]
