The Hymnal for Boys and Girls ‎#30

30. Silent Night, Holy Night

1 Silent night! holy night!
All is dark, save the light
Yonder, where they sweet vigils keep
O'er the Babe, who in silent sleep
Rests in heavenly peace,
Rests in heavenly peace.

2 Silent night! holy night!
Darkness flies, all is light!
Shepherds hear the angels sing -
"Hallelujah! hail the King!
Jesus Christ is here!
Jesus Christ is here!"

3 Silent night! holy night!
Child of heav'n! O how bright
Thou didst smile when Thou was born;
Blessed was that happy morn,
Full of heavenly joy,
Full of heavenly joy.

Amen.
