LyicsSilent night! hallowed night!
Land and deep silent sleep;
Softly glitters bright Bethlehem's star,
Beck'ning Israel's eye from afar
Where the Saviour 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 Saviour has come.
Silent night! hallowed night!
Earth, awake, silence break,
High your anthems of melody raise,
Heaven and earth in full chorus praise:
Peace for ever shall reign.
