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.

Silent night! Peaceful night!
Darkness flies, all is light;
Shepherds hear the angels sing,
"Alleluia! hail the King!
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born."

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!

Silent night! Holiest night!
Wondrous Star, lend thy light!
With the angels let us sing
"Alleluia! to our King!
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born!"
