Silent Night
Lyrics by Father Josef Mohr (1816)
Music by Franz Gruber (1818)
Christmas Carol

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,
Heav'nly hosts sing Alleluia;
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.
