The New Christian Hymnal ‎#381

381. Silent Night! Peaceful Night!

1. Silent night! Peaceful night!
Darkness flies, all is light;
Shepherds hear the angels sing,
"Alleluia! hail the King!
Christ the Savior is born,
Jesus the Savior is born."

2. Silent night! Holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight:
Glories stream from heav'n afar;
Heavn'ly hosts sing alleluia,
Christ the Savior is born,
Jesus the Savior is born."

3. Silent night! Holiest night!
Wondrous Star, lend thy light!
With the angels let us sing
Alleluia to our King!
Christ the Savior is born,
Jesus the Savior is born."
