1. Holy night, Silent night;
All things sleep, Angels bright
Rev'rent watch with Mary mild
O'er the cradle of her child.
Sleep in heav'nly rest.
Sleep in heav'nly rest.

2. Holy night, Silent night;
Shepherds saw Wondrous light,
Waked by angels' glorious strain:
"Peace on earth, Good-will to men;
Christ is born indeed,
Christ is born indeed."
