| Silent Night! Holy Night! hymn by Joseph Mohr music by Franz Gruber) 1. Silent night! holy night! All is dark, save the light Yonder where they sweet vigils keep, O'er the Babe who in silent sleep Rests in heavenly peace, Rests in heavenly peace. 2. Silent night! Holy night! Son of God, Love's pure light, Radiant beams from Thy holy face, With the dawn of redeeming grace, Christ the Saviour is born, Jesus the Saviour is born! 3. Silent night! hallowed night! Land and deep silent sleep! Softly glitters bright Bethlehem's star, Beckoning Israel's eye from afar, Where the Saviour is born, Where the Saviour is born. 4. Silent night! peaceful night! Darkness flies, all is light; Shepherds hear the angels sing, "Allelluia! hail the King! Christ the Saviour is born, Jesus the Saviour is born." 5. Silent night! hallowed night! On the plain wakes the strain, Sung by heavenly harbingers bright, Fraught with tidings of boundless delight; Christ the Saviour has come, Christ the Saviour has come. 6. Silent night, holy night, Shepherds quake at the sight; Glories stream from heaven afar, Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia! Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth, Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth. 7. Holy Night! peaceful Night! Only for the shepherds’ sight Came blest visions of angel throngs, With their loud alleluia songs, Saying, Christ is come, Saying, Christ is come. 8. Silent night! holy night! Guiding star lend thy light! See the Eastern wise men bring Gifts and homage to our King! Christ the Saviour is born, Jesus the Saviour is born! 9. Silent night! hallowed night! Earth awake! silence break! High your anthems of melody raise! Heaven and earth in full chorus of praise! Peace forever shall reign! Peace forever shall reign! 10. 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. |
