| Composer: | Franz Gruber |
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,
sleep in heavenly peace.
2 Silent night, holy night,
shepherds quake at the sight;
glories stream from heaven afar,
heav'nly 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
radiant beams from your holy face,
with the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at your birth,
Jesus, Lord, at your birth.
German:
1 Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht!
Alles schläft, einsam wacht
nur das traute, hochheilige Paar.
Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar,
schlaf in himmlischer Ruh',
schlaf in himmlischer Ruh'!
