The words
Si lent night, ho ly night, all is calm, all is bright round yon vir gin mo ther and child. Ho ly in fant, so ten der and mild, sleep in hea ven ly peace, sleep in hea ven ly peace.
Si lent night, ho ly night, shepherds quake at the sight, glories stream from heaven afar, heav'nly hosts sing alleluia; Christ, the Saviour, is born! Christ, the Saviour, is born!
Si lent night, ho ly night, Son of God, love's pure light ra diant beams from thy ho ly face, with the dawn of redeem ing grace, Je sus, Lord, at thy birth, Je sus, Lord, at thy birth.
