Silent night!  Holy night!
 #7           A
All is calm, all is bright,
 D                A
Round yon virgin mother and child!
 D               A
Holy Infant, so tender and mild,
 E7                 A
Sleep in heavenly peace,
 A        E7        A
Sleep in heavenly peace.


Silent night!  Holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories streams 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 night;
With the angels let us sing,
Alleluia to our King;
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born.
