74. 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!
Son of God, source of light,
now lies crying in Bethlehem's stall,
tiny child, Creator of all,
infant, Savior, and King!
infant, Savior, and King!

3 Silent night! Holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
when they hear the angels sing
alleluia to the King.
Christ the Savior is born!
Christ the Savior is born!

4 Silent night! Holy night!
Son of God, love's pure light
shines anew from your heavenly face,
greets the hour of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at your birth!
Jesus, Lord, at your birth!
