397. Silent Night

1 Silent night! Holy night!
All is dark, save the light
Yonder, where they sweet vigils keep,
O'er the Babe who, in silent sleep,
Rests in heavenly peace,
Resting in heavenly peace.

2 Silent night! Holy night!
On the plain wakes the strain,
Sung by heavenly harbingers bright,
Fraught with tidings of boundless delight,
Christ, the Savior is born,
Jesus, the Savior is born.

3 Silent! Holy night!
Earth awake, silence break;
High your anthems of melody raise,
Heav'n and earth in full chorus of praise
Christ, the Savior is born,
Jesus, the Savior is born.
