[English]

Silent night, holy night

All is calm, all is bright

'Round yon virgin mother and child

Holy infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace

Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night

Shepherds quake at the sight

Glories stream from heaven afar

Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah

Christ the Savior is born!

Christ the Savior is born!

Silent night, holy night

Son of god

Love's pure light

Radiant beams from thy holy face

With the dawn of redeeming grace

Jesus lord at thy birth

Jesus lord at thy birth

Jesus lord at thy birth

Jesus lord at thy birth

Snow falls over the trees

Still and calm is the sea

There is a hush o'er the land

Christmas is almost at hand

Peace alone reigns supreme

Like in some wondrous dream

You feel like newborn so grand

Christmas is almost at hand

Hear ye the message that comes from afar

Up in the heavens there shines a new star

It's shining brightly and lights up the night

Leading the way to a wonderful sight

No one is lonely and no one forlorn

'Cause in the manger the Christ child is born

Hear ye the message it's simple and clear

Time for rejoicing is finally here

Fore with the Christ Child there comes a new day

Taking your worries and sorrows away

Bury your hatred and bury your grief

Hear ye the message and start to believe

Let's keep the christmas bells ringing

Not just one day of the year

Let's keep the christmas bells ringing

Not just one day of the year
