- 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, - Silent night, holy night,
Darkness, flies and all is light;
Shepherds hear the angels sing:
'Alleluia! hail the King!
Jesus the Saviour is here,
Jesus the Saviour is here.' - Holy night, peaceful night,
Child of heaven, O how bright
Thou didst smile when thou wast born;
Blessed was that happy morn,
Full of heavenly joy,
Full of heavenly joy. - Silent night, holy night,
Guiding Star, O lend thy light;
See the eastern wise men bring
Gifts and homage to our King!
Jesus the Saviour is here,
Jesus the Saviour is here. - Silent night, holy night,
Wondrous Star, O lend thy light!
With the angels let us sing
Alleluia to our King!
Jesus our Saviour is here,
Jesus our Saviour is here.
Amen.
