Lyrics:
Verse 1
Out of the depths of silent night
Immanuel, come hear our cry
Our grief is strong, our burdens great
The night is long and hope is faint
Verse 2
You came to set the captives free
A Morning Star of joy and peace
Why does this darkness feel so deep?
Why can’t our weary spirits see
Chorus
Glory, glory, glory in the darkest place
Glory, glory, glory let Your mercy reign
Verse 3
Out of the depths of silent night
A Savior born, a mother’s sigh
The darkness trembled at this Star
A beam of hope for troubled hearts
Verse 4
You came to make Your blessings known
And bear our curse of death alone
You came to share our suffering
So in our sorrow we could sing
