Silent Night Lyrics

 

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 Alleluia!

Christ the Savior is born,

Christ the Savior 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,

Alleluia to our King;

Christ the Savior is born,

Christ the Savior is born!

 

Original German Lyrics (Stille Nacht)

 

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht,

Alles schl�ft; einsam wacht

Nur das traute hochheilige Paar.

Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar,

Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!

Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!

 

Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht!

Gottes Sohn! O wie lacht

Lieb aus deinem g�ttlichen Mund,

Da schl�gt uns die rettende Stund.

Jesus in deiner Geburt!

Jesus in deiner Geburt!

 

Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht!

Die der Welt Heil gebracht,

Aus des Himmels goldenen

H�hn Uns der Gnaden F�lle l��t seh�n

Jesum in Menschengestalt,

Jesum in Menschengestalt

 

Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht!

Wo sich heut alle Macht

V�terlicher Liebe ergo�

Und als Bruder huldvoll umschlo�

Jesus die V�lker der Welt,

Jesus die V�lker der Welt.

 

Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht!

Lange schon uns bedacht,

Als der Herr vom Grimme befreit,

In der V�ter urgrauer Zeit

Aller Welt Schonung verhie�,

Aller Welt Schonung verhie�.

 

Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht!

Hirten erst kundgemacht

Durch der Engel Alleluja,

T�nt es laut bei Ferne und Nah:

Jesus der Retter ist da!

Jesus der Retter ist da!
