Silent Holy Night, Son of God,
Love's Pure Light of radiant beams,
Flow from His Holy Face afar,
Jesus The Lord at birth redeems.

Come one and all Adore the Lord,
Follow the Star's glow in the East,
To the Virgin's Sweet Boy have hope,
Rejoice one and all man and beast.

Angels chorus Glory's Star shone,
On Mary's love and Baby Boy,
In a lowly manger He rests,
King of Israel giving Joy.

What Child is this but Christ the King,
Asleep with donkey, sheep in straw,
Sinners look upon the humble,
Means to lay, gaze in silent awe.

Glory to the King Angels sing,
The Son of Mary's here adored,
Veiled in flesh the Godhead thus birthed,
The Christ the Everlasting Lord.

Wrapped in cloths laid in a manger,
The Light of Life for all He brings,
Salvation Reigns, meek souls receive,
Shepherds joyous jubilee rings.

Heav'nly Hosts sing Allelujah,
The Lord Is Come, Adore the Lord,
Wise Men persistent follow Light,
Worship give gifts in one accord.

O Holy Night Behold the Light,
Shining Peace on Earth, mercy mild,
Nations rise in triumphant skies,
Hark God and sinners reconciled.

Joy to the world Let all Rejoice,
Star shone aglow round all in Earth,
Preparing hearts for Truth and Grace,
Jesus' Salvation Reigns at Birth.

Come one and all Adore the Lord,
Follow the Star shone in the East,
To the Virgin's Sweet Boy have joy,
Rejoice one and all man or beast.
