335. Silent night, holy night!

1 Silent night, holy night!
Sleeps the world; hid from sight,
Mary and Joseph in stable bare
watched o'er the Child beloved and fair
sleeping in heavenly rest,
sleeping in heavenly rest.

2 Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds first saw the light,
herd resounding clear and long,
far and near, the angel-song:
'Christ the Redeemer is here,
Christ the Redeemer is here!'

3 Silent night, holy night!
Son of God, O how bright
love is smiling from Your face!
Strikes for us now the hour of grace,
Saviour, since You are born,
Saviour, since You are born!
