95. Silent night! holy night!

1 Silent night! holy night!
all is calm, all is bright
round the virgin and her child:
holy infant, so gentle and mild,
sleep in heavenly peace;
sleep in heavenly peace!

2 Silent night! holy night!
shepherds quake at the sight,
glory streams from heaven afar:
heavenly hosts sing 'Alleluia,
Christ the saviour is born,
Christ the saviour is born.'

3 Silent night! holy night!
Son of God, love’s pure light:
radiant beams your holy face
with the dawn of saving grace,
Jesus, Lord, at your birth,
Jesus, Lord, at your birth.
