Original Music: MIDI / Noteworthy Composer
1. Silent night, peaceful night!
All things sleep, shepherds keep
Watch on Bethlehem's silent hill
And unseen, while all is still,
Angels watch above,
Angels watch above.
2. Bright the star shines afar,
Guiding trav'lers on their way,
Who their gold and incense bring
Peace on earth to you is giv'n,
Christ the Saviour's come,
Christ the Saviour's come.
3. Light around! joyous sound!
Angel voices wake the air;
"Glory be to God in heav'n;
Peace on earth to you is giv'n,
Christ the Saviour's come,
Christ the Saviour's come."
