527. Silent Night, Holy Night (Noche de Paz)

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.

SPANISH -
1 ¡Noche de paz, noche de amor!
Todo duerme en derredor,
Entre los astros que esparcen su luz,
Bella anunciando al niñito Jesús,
Brilla la estella de paz,
Brilla la estrella de paz.

2 ¡Noche de paz, noche de amor!
Oye humilde el fiel pastor,
Coros celestes que anuncian salud,
Gracias y glorias en gran plenitud,
Por nuestro buen Redentor,
Por nuestro buen Redentor.

3 ¡Noche de paz, noche de amor!
Mira qué gran resplandor
Luce en el rostro del niño Jesús,
En el pesebre, del mundo la luz,
Astro de eterno fulgor,
Astro de eterno fulgor.
