Silent Night
Joseph Mohr & Franz Xaver Gruber
Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright
Round 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 sight;
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly sing ;
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.
