Hymns from the Four Winds ‎#51

51. Silent Night! Holy Night!

1 Silent night! holy night!
All is calm, all is bright,
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.

2 Silent night! holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Silent night! holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing: "Alleluia,
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born.

3 Silent night! holy night!
Son of God, love's pure light,
Silent night! holy night!
Son of God, love's pure light,
Radiant beams from your holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at your birth,
Jesus, Lord, at your birth.

4 Silent night! holy night!
Wondrous star, lend your light,
Silent night! holy night!
Wondrous star, lend your light,
With the angels let us sing,
Alleluia to our King;
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born.
