In silent night, when all is calm and all is bright,
In silent night, O holy night,
The Baby from heaven is born on this night.
The Child, innocent Child is born.

In silent night, as darkness flies and all is light
In silent night, O holy night,
The Baby in radiance lay sleep on this night.
The Child, the holy Child is born.

In silent night, this Son of God and son of man
Shall one day cry and later die
Upon a cross for you and me.
The Child, the Prince of Peace, is born.

--"In Silent Night" by Mitchell B. Southall
