Lift Every Voice and Sing II ‎#26

26. Silent Night, Holy Night

1 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.

2 Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heav’nly host sing Alleluia;
Christ the Savior is born.

3 Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, loves pure light
Radiant beams from thy Holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace;
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.

4 Silent night, holy night,
All is dark save the light
Yonder where thy sweet vigils keep.
O’er the Babe who in silence sleep;
Rest in heavenly peace.
