The Celebration Hymnal

Silent Night! Holy Night!

1 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.  

2 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!  

3 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!  

4 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.
