Author: Joseph Mohr, 1792-1848; J. F. Young, 1820-1885 Hymnal: Common Praise #69b (2000) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: Version One -
1 Silent night, holy night;
sleeps the world; hid from sight,
Mary and Joseph in stable bare
watch o'er the child belovèd and fair
sleeping in heavenly rest.
2 Silent night, holy night;
shepherds first saw the light,
heard resounding clear and long,
far and near, the angel-song:
'Christ the Redeemer is here!'
3 Silent night, holy night:
Son of God, O how bright
love is smiling from thy face;
strikes for us now the hour of grace,
Saviour, since thou art born!
Version Two -
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.
2 Silent night, holy night.
Shepherds quake at the sight,
glories stream from heaven afar,
heav'nly hosts sing alleluia:
Christ the Saviour 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. Topics: Christmas; Christmas Midnight Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:2 Languages: English Tune Title: STILLE NACHT
