1. Silent night! Holy night!
Through the darkness beams a light,
Yonder, where they sweet vigils keep
O'er the Babe who, in silent sleep,
Rests in heavenly peace,
Rests in heavenly peace.
2. Silent night! Holy night!
Darkness flies, and all is light!
Shepherds here the angels sing:
"Hallelujah! hail the King!
Jesus the Saviour is here!
Jesus the Saviour is here!"
3. Silent night! Holy night!
Guiding Star, O lend thy light!
See the eastern wise men bring
Gifts and homage to our King!
Jesus the Saviour is here!
Jesus the Saviour is here!"
4. Silent night! Holy Night!
Wondrous Star, O lend thy light!
With the angels let us sing
Hallelujah to our King!
Jesus our Saviour is here!
Jesus our Saviour is here!"
