David’s zoon lang verwacht
Die miljoenen eens zaligen zal
Wordt geboren in Bethlehems stal
Hij der schepselen heer
Hij der schepselen heer
Hulp’loos kind Heilig kind
Ook voor mij hebt G’U rijkdom ontzegd
Werd G’in stro en in doeken gelegd
Leer m’U danken daarvoor
Leer m’U danken daarvoor
Stille nacht Heilige nacht
Heil en vree wordt gebracht
Aan een wereld verloren in schuld
God’s belofte wordt heerlijk vervuld
Amen Gode zij d’eer
Amen Gode zij d’eer
