• O Holy Night

Sandy Patti:
O Holy Night
The stars are brightly shining
This is the night
Of our dear Savior's birth

Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
'Til He appeared
And the soul felt its worth

A ray of hope
The weary world rejoices
When yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees (Fall on your knees)
Oh hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night
When Christ was born

O night divine
O night
O night divine!

ACT III

Chanukah Medley:

S'Vivon

The Trees in the Field
