Psalter Hymnal (Red) ‎#351

351. Silent Night! Holy Night!

1 Silent night! Holy night!
All is dark, save a light,
Yonder, where they sweet vigils keep
O'er the Babe, who in silent sleep
Rests in heavenly peace,
Rests in heavenly peace.

2 Silent night! Holy night!
Darkness flies, all is light;
Shepherds hear the angels sing,
"Alleluia! Hail the King!
Christ the Savior is born,
Jesus the Savior is born."

3 Silent night! Holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight;
Glories stream from heaven afar;
Heavenly hosts sing, "Alleluia!
Christ the Savior is born,
Jesus the Savior is born."
