Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Silent night, holy night)
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
'Round young virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
All is dark save the light

See the Eastern wise men
Bring gifts and homage to our King
Christ, the Savior is born
Jesus, the Savior is born

Silent night
(Holy night)
All is calm, all is bright
Poorest dreams from heaven
Afar heavenly host sing Hallelujah
(Christ, the Savior is born)
(Jesus, the Savior is born)

Silent night, holy night
Wondrous dark lend Thy light
With the angels let us sing
Hallelujah, hail the King




Christ, the Savior is born
Jesus, the Savior is born
