Verse 1

Silent night, holy night,
all is calm, all is bright
round yon virgin mother and child —
holy infant so tender and mild,
sleep in heavenly peace,
sleep in heavenly peace.

Verse 2

Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight;
Glories stream from heaven afar, Heavenly
hosts sing Alleluia! Christ the
Savior is born, Christ
the Savior is born!

Verse 3

Silent night, holy night, Son
of God, love's pure light; Radiant
beams from Thy holy face With the
dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord,
at Thy birth, Jesus,
Lord, at Thy birth.

Verse 4

Silent night, holy night
Wondrous star, lend thy light;
With the angels let us sing,
Alleluia to our King; Christ the
Savior is born, Christ
the Savior is born!
