===English translation===
: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 alleluia
:Christ the saviour is born, Christ the saviour is born

===Original German lyrics===
:Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht!
:Alles schläft, einsam wacht
:Nur das traute hochheilige Paar.
:Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar,
:Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh,
:Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh
:Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht,
:Hirten erst kundgemacht
:Durch der Engel Hallelujah,
:Tönt es laut von fern und nah,
:Christ, der Retter ist da,
:Christ, der Retter ist da!
:Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht,
:Gottes Sohn, o wie lacht
:Lieb aus Deinem göttlichen Mund,
:Da uns schlägt die rettende Stund,
:Christ, in Deiner Geburt,
:Christ, in Deiner Geburt!
