Hymnal: Laudes Domini #340 (1884) Meter: Irregular First Line: Holy night! peaceful night! Lyrics: 1 Holy night! peaceful night!
Through the darkness beams a light
Yonder, where they sweet vigils keep
O'er the Babe, who, in silent sleep,
Rests in heavenly peace.
2 Silent night! holiest night!
Darkness flies and all is light!
Shepherds hear the angels sing--
"Hallelujah! hail the King!
Jesus Christ is here!"
3 Silent night! holiest night!
Guiding Star, oh, lend thy light!
See the eastern wise men bring
Gifts and homage to our King!
Jesus Christ is here!
4 Silent night! holiest night!
Wondrous Star! oh, lend thy light!
With the angels let us sing
Hallelujah to our King!
Jesus Christ is here!
