SONGS OF ADVENT AND CHRISTMAS:

       Silent Night, Holy Night

Here's the first verse we sing:

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!

The original words of the song were in German and it was called 'Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht'.
