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
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

The infant Jesus is described as tender and mild, as the peacefulness of the night is meant to be symbolic of the heavenly peace that Jesus brings to the world.
The second verse of the song focuses on Jesus as the "Son of God" and the "love's pure light," with "radiant beams" shining from His "holy face." This is meant to represent the coming of redemption and grace through Jesus, with His birth representing a new dawn in history.
