Silent night, holy night
All is asleep, alone awake
Only the dear highly holy pair
Lovely boy with curly hair
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds first announced
Through the angels' Hallelujah
It sounds loud from far and near
"Christ, the Savior is here
Christ, the Savior is here"

Silent night, holy night
God's son, oh how he laughs
Love from your divine mouth
Then strikes us the saving hour
Christ in your birth
Christ in your birth

Silent night, holy night
That brought salvation to the world
From the golden heights of heaven
Let us see the fullness of grace
Jesus in human form
Jesus in human form

Silent night, holy night
Where today all power
Of love graciously poured out
And as a brother graciously embraced
Jesus, the Savior of the world
Jesus, the Savior of the world

Silent night, holy night
Long already considered us
When the Lord freed from wrath
In the fathers' ancient time
Promised mercy to all the world
Promised mercy to all the world
