LyicsSilent night! hallowed night!
Land and deep silent sleep;
Softly glitters bright Bethlehem's star,
Beck'ning Israel's eye from afar,
Where the Savior is born,
Where the Savior is born.
Silent night! hallowed night!
On the plain wakes the strain,
Sung by heavenly harbingers bright,
Fraught with tidings of boundless delight:
Christ the Savior has come,
Christ the Savior has come.
Silent night! hallowed night!
Earth awake, silence break,
High your anthems of melody raise,
Heaven and earth in full chorous of praise:
Peace forever shall reign,
Peace forever shall reign.
