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

[Silent night, holy night]

Shepherds quake at the sight.

[Shepherds quake at the sight.]

Glories stream from Heaven afar.

Heavn’ly hosts sing Allelujah!

Christ the Saviour is born.

Christ the Saviour is born.
