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.

2 Silent night, holy night, Shepherds quake at the sight, Glories stream from heaven afar, Heav’nly host sing Alleluia; Christ the Savior is born.

3 Silent night, holy night, Son of God, loves pure light Radiant beams from thy Holy face, With the dawn of redeeming grace; Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.

4 Silent night, holy night, All is dark save the light Yonder where thy sweet vigils keep. O’er the Babe who in silence sleep; Rest in heavenly peace.
