Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born
Silent night, holy night
Peace is here out of fight
Silence makes such a magical sound
Hear what Mary's whispers' are about
Everyone deserves love
Everyone deserves love
Everyone deserves love
Everyone deserves love
