Holy night! peaceful night!
Through the darkness beams a light,
Yonder where they sweet vigil keep,
O'er the Babe, Who, in silent sleep,
Rests in heavenly peace.

Silent night! holiest night!
Darkness flies, and all is light!
Shepherds hear the angels sing-
"Hallelujah! Hail the King!
JESUS the Saviour is here!"

Holiest night! peaceful night!

Child of Heaven! O how bright

Thou didst smile when Thou wast born!

Blessed was the happy morn,

Full of heavenly joy.

Silent night! holiest night!

Guiding Star, O lend Thy light!

See the eastern wise men bring
Gifts and homage to our King!

JESUS the Saviour is here!

Silent night! holiest night!
Wondrous Star! O lend Thy light!
With the angels let us sing

Hallelujah to our King!

JESUS our Saviour is here!
