358. Silent night! peaceful night!

1 Silent night! peaceful night!
Through the darkness beams a light;
Silent night! peaceful night;
Through the darkness beams a light,
Through the darkness beams a 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! holiest night!
Darkness flies and all is light!
Silent night! holiest night!
Darkness flies and all is light!
Shepherds hear the angels sing--
"Hallelujah! hail the King!
Jesus Christ is here!
Jesus Christ is here!"

3 Silent night! peaceful night!
Child of heaven! O how bright
Silent night! peaceful night!
Child of heaven! O how bright
Thou didst smile when Thou wast born;
Blessed was that happy morn,
Full of heavenly joy.
Full of heavenly joy.

4 Silent night! holiest night!
Guiding Star, O, lend thy light!
Silent night! holiest night!
Guiding Star, O, lend thy light!
See the eastern wise men bring
Gifts and homage to our King!
Jesus Christ is here!
Jesus Christ is here!

5 Silent night! holiest night!
Wondrous Star! O, lend thy light!
Silent night! holiest night!
Wondrous Star! O, lend thy light!
With the angels let us sing
Hallelujah to our King!
Jesus Christ is here!
Jesus Christ is here!
