Our Great Redeemer's Praise ‎#199

199. 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,
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 Thy holy face,
with the dawn of redeeming grace;
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.

4 Silent night, holy night,
wondrous star, lend thy light;
with the angels let us sing,
Alleluia to our King;
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born.
