74a. Stille Nacht

1. Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht!
Alles schlaft, einsam wacht
Nur das traute hoch-heilige Paar.
Holder Knabe im lokkigen Haar,
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!

2. Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht!
Hirten erst kundgemacht;
Durch der Engel Hallelujah
Tontes laut von fern und nah:
Christ der Retter ist da!
Christ der Retter ist da!

3. Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht!
Gottes Sohn, o wie lacht
Lieb aus deinem gottlichen Mund
Da uns schlagt die rettende Stund,
Christ, in deiner Geburt!
Christ, in deiner Geburt!
