178 Holy night! peaceful night! Through the darkness beams a light,
1 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.
2 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!"
3 Silent night! holiest night!
Guiding Star, O lend thy light!
See the eastern wise men bring
Gifts and homage to our King!
Jesus the Savior is here!"
Jesus the Savior is here!"
4 Silent night! holiest night!
Wondrous Star, O lend thy light!
With the angel let us sing
Hallelujah to our King!
Jesus our Savior is here!"
Jesus our Savior is here!"
