Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories steam from Heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing 'Alleluia!
Christ the Savior is born,

German lyrics: Poem by Joseph Mohr, 1816, 1818
Music: Franz Xaver Gruber, 1818
Words: Joseph Mohr, 1816/1818
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!
