Silent Night Holy Night

    

     Silent night, holy night,
    All is calm, all is bright
    Round yon virgin¹ 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 sight,
    Glories stream from heaven afar,
    Heavenly 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 redeeming² grace,
    Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.
    Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.
