Lyrics Sample

Silent night, holy night

All is calm, all is bright.

Round the virgin mother and child,

Holy infant so tender and mild.

Sleep in heavenly peace.

Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night     [echo]

Shepherds quake at the sight.    [echo]

Glories stream from Heaven afar.

Heavn’ly hosts sing Allelujah!

Christ the Saviour is born.

Christ the Saviour is born.

Silent night, holy night      [echo]

Son of God, Love’s pure light.     [echo]

Radiant beams from thy holy face.

With the dawn of redeeming grace.

Jesus Lord at thy birth

Jesus Lord at thy birth.
