Darkness flies, and all is light! Shepherds hear the angels sing: "Allelulia! hail the King! Jesus the Saviour is here!" 3 Holiest night! peaceful night! Child of heaven, oh, how bright Thou didst smile when Thou wast born; Blessed was that happy morn, Full of heavenly joy. 4 Silent night! holiest night! Guiding Star, O lend thy light!

With the angels let us sing Alleluia to our King! Jesus our Saviour is here! J. Mohr, 1818 |
