Noche de paz

Noche de amor

Todo duerme en derredor

Entre los astros que esparcen su luz

Bella anunciando al niñito Jesús

Brilla la estrella de paz

Brilla la estrella de paz

Noche de paz

Noche de amor

Todo duerme en derredor

Solo velan en la oscuridad

Los pastores que en el campo están

Y la estrella de Belén

...

Y la estrella de Belén

Noche de paz

Noche de amor

Todo duerme en derredor

Fieles velando allí en Belén

Los pastores, la Madre también

Y la estrella de paz

Y la estrella de paz

Brilla la estrella de paz

...
