Lyrics verses 1,2,3 by Joseph Mohr, transl. by John F. Young
Lyrics verse 4 anonymous (Luke 2:6-20)
Music by Franz Gruber, 1818

Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon 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 hosts sing Allelujah!
Christ the Saviour is born,
Christ the Saviour 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.

Silent night, holy night,
Wondrous star, lend thy light;
With the angels let us sing,
Allelujah to our King;
Christ the Saviour is born,
Christ the Saviour is born!
