146. 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.
