475. 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 Saviour is born,
Christ the Saviour is born.

3 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.

4 Silent night holy night
All is dark save the light
Yonder, where they sweet vigils keep,
O'er the Babe who in silent sleep
Rests in heavenly peace,
Rests in heavenly peace.
