Taylor Swift’s version of the famous Christmas carol first composed in 1818 by Austrian church organist Franz Xaver Gruber, set as the fourth track on her first Christmas EP, Sounds of the Season. Swift’s version omits the fourth and final verse of the initial version.
[Verse 1]
Silent night, holy night
All is calm and all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
[Verse 2]
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from Heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah
Christ the Saviour is born
Christ our Saviour is born
[Verse 3]
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
[Outro]
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Christ the Saviour is born
