Silent Night



Silent night, night of God's son,

Everyone is asleep, the pair together.

The most faithful pair, watching with hope

A little baby, a mild and gentle child.



Christ, calmly asleep.

Silent night, night of God's son,

Shepherds were first to hear the tale.

The angels crying out Alleluia.

Lovely chanting near and far.
