Lyrics:

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht!
alles schläft, einsam wacht
nur das traute, hochheilige Paar.
Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar,
schlaf’ in himmlischer Ruh,
schlaf’ in himmlischer Ruh.

Noche de paz, Noche de amor!
Todo duerme en derredor.
Sólo velan mirando la faz
de su Niño en angélica paz.
José y María en Belén,
José y María en Belén.

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.

Notes: SATB with Alto, Tenor, Bass divisi. Melody by Franz Xaver Gruber (1787–1863).
