Holy night! Peaceful night!Through the darkness beams a light,
Yonder, where they sweet vigils keep
O'er the Babe who, in silent sleep,
Rests in heavenly peace.
Rests in heavenly peace.
Silent night! Holiest night!
Darkness flies, and all is light!
Shepherds hear the angels sing:
"Hallelujah! Hail the King!
Jesus the Savior is here!"
Jesus the Savior is here!
Silent night! Holiest night!
Guiding Star, O lend they light!
See the eastern wise men bring
Gifts and homage to our King!
Jesus the Savior is here!
Jesus the Savior is here!
Silent night! Holiest night!
Wondrous Star, O lend thy light!
With the angels let us sing
Hallelujah to our King
Jesus our Savior is here!
Jesus our Savior is here!
--J. Mohr, 1818.
