Text:Silent Night
Tune:[Silent night, sacred night]

42. Silent Night

1 Silent night, sacred night,
Bethlehem sleeps, yet what light
Floats around the holy Pair:
Songs of angels fill the air,
Strains of heavenly peace,
Strains of heavenly peace.

2 Silent night, sacred night,
Shepherds first see the light,
Hear the Alleluias ring,
Which the angel-chorus sing;
Christ the Saviour has come,
Christ the Saviour has come.

3 Silent night, sacred night,
Son of God! oh, what light
Radiates from thy manger-bed
Over realms with darkness spread,
Thou in Bethlehem born,
Thou in Bethlehem born.
