Silent Night Lyrics in English

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…

Silent Night Holy Night
Shepherds Quake At The Sight
Glories Stream From Heaven Afar
Heavenly Hosts Sing Al-Le-Lu-Ia
Christ The Savior Is Born
Christ The Savior Is Born…

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…

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…

Silent Night Lyrics German

Stille Nacht heilige Nacht,
Alles schläft einsam wacht
Nur das traute hochheilige Paar.
Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar,
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht,
Hirten erst kundgemacht
Durch der Engel Halleluja,
Tönt es laut von fern und nah:
Christ, der Retter ist da!
Christ, der Retter ist da!

Stille Nacht heilige Nacht,
Gottes Sohn, o wie lacht
Lieb’ aus deinem göttlichen Mund,
Da uns schlägt die rettende Stund’.
Christ, in deiner Geburt!
Christ, in deiner Geburt!
