Tune:[Holy night! peaceful night]
Composer:Franz Gruber

91. Holy Night! Peaceful Night

1 Holy night! peaceful night!
Through the darkness beams a light,
Yonder where they sweet vigils keep
O'er the Babe who, in silent sleep,
Rests in heavenly peace.
Rests in heavenly peace.

2 Silent night! holiest night!
Darkness flies, and all is light!
Shepherds hear the angels sing:
"Hallelujah! hail the King!
Jesus the Savior is here!
Jesus the Savior is here!"

3 Silent night! holiest night!
Guiding Star, O lend thy light!
See the eastern wise men bring
Gifts and homage to our King!
Jesus the Savior is here!
Jesus the Savior is here!

4 Silent night! holiest night!
Wondrous Star, O lend thy light!
With the angels let us sing
Hallelujah to our King!
Jesus the Savior is here!
Jesus the Savior is here!
