C
Silent night, holy night,
G7           C
All is calm, all is bright
F                C
Round yon virgin mother and child,
F              C
Holy infant so tender and mild,
G7                C
Sleep in heavenly peace,
C        G7       C
Sleep in heavenly peace.

2. Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight;
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ the Savior is born!
Christ the Savior is born!

3. 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.
