ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH SILENT NIGHT

Angels we have heard on high Silent night, holy night Sweetly o'er the plains All is calm, all is bright And the mountains in reply Round yon virgin, mother and child Echoing their joyous strains Holy infant so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly Refrain: Gloria, in excelsis Deo, Gloria, peace. in excelsis Deo Silent night, holy night Shepherds why this jubilee? Shepherds quake at the sight Why your joyous songs prolong? Glories stream from heaven a’far What the gladsome tidings be Heavenly hosts sing “Alleluia” Which inspire your heav’nly song Christ the savior is born, Christ the savior Refrain is born.

Come to Bethlehem and see Silent night, holy night, Him whose birth the angels sing. Son of God loves pure light Come adore on bended knee Radiant beams from Thy holy face Christ, the Lord, our newborn King. With the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus Lord at Thy birth, Jesus Lord at Thy Refrain birth.
