Silent Night! Holy Night!

(Joseph Mohr, 1792-1848/Franz Xaver Grüber, 1787-1863/
Trans. by John F. Young, 1820-1885)

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! Holy night! Shepherds quake at the night;

Glories stream from heaven afar,

Heav’nly hosts sing alleluia –

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.
