Silent Night

Silent night! Holy night!
All's asleep, one sole light
Just the faithful and holy pair
Lovely boy-child with curly hair
Sleep in heavenly peace!

Silent night! Holy night!
God's Son laughs, o how bright
Love from your holy lips shines clear
As the dawn of salvation draws near
Jesus, Lord, with your birth!

Silent night! Holy night!
Brought the world peace tonight
From the heavens' golden height
Shows the grace of His holy might
Jesus, as man on this earth!

Silent night! holy night!
Where today all the might
Of His fatherly love us graced
And then Jesus, as brother embraced
All the peoples on earth!

Silent night! Holy night!
Long we hoped that He might
As our Lord, free us of wrath
Since times of our fathers He hath
Promised to spare all mankind!

Silent night! Holy night!
Shepherds first see the sight
Told by angelic Alleluja
Sounding everywhere, both near and far:
"Christ the Savior is here!"
