1. Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht!
Alles schläft; einsam wacht
Nur das traute heilige Paar.
Holder Knab im lockigten Haar,
Schlafe in himmlischer Ruh!
Schlafe in himmlischer Ruh!


2. Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht!
Gottes Sohn! O wie lacht
Lieb´ aus deinem göttlichen Mund,
Da schlägt uns die rettende Stund´.
Jesus in deiner Geburt!
Jesus in deiner Geburt!


3. Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht!
Die der Welt Heil gebracht,
Aus des Himmels goldenen Höhn
Uns der Gnaden Fülle läßt seh´n
Jesum in Menschengestalt,
Jesum in Menschengestalt.


4. Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht!
Wo sich heut alle Macht
Väterlicher Liebe ergoß
Und als Bruder huldvoll umschloß
Jesus die Völker der Welt,
Jesus die Völker der Welt.


5. Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht!
Lange schon uns bedacht,
Als der Herr vom Grimme befreit,
In der Väter urgrauer Zeit
Aller Welt Schonung verhieß,
Aller Welt Schonung verhieß.


6. Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht!
Hirten erst kundgemacht
Durch der Engel Alleluja,
Tönt es laut bei Ferne und Nah:
Jesus der Retter ist da!
Jesus der Retter ist da!

English.png English translation

1. 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.


2. 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!


3. Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, love’s pure light;
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.


4. Silent night, holy night
Wondrous star, lend thy light;
With the angels let us sing,
Alleluia to our King;
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born!

Dutch.png Dutch translation

Stille nacht, heilige nacht,alles slaapt, sluimert zacht.
Eenzaam waakt het hoogheilige paar, Lieflijk kindje met goud in het haar,
sluimert in hemelse rust, sluimert in hemelse rust.

Stille nacht, heilige nacht, Zoon van God! Liefde lacht,
vriend'lijk om Uwe Godd'lijke mond, nu ons slaat de heilige stond,
Jezus de Redder is daar, Jezus de Redder is daar.

Stille nacht, heilige nacht, herders zien 't eerst uw pracht.
Door de engelen alleluja, galmt het luide van verre en na,
Jezus de Redder ligt daar, Jezus de Redder ligt daar.

Astro del Ciel, Pargol Divin
Mite Agnello, Redentor
Tu che i vati da lungi sognar
Tu che angeliche voci annunziar
(x2)Luce dona alle menti ,pace infondi nei cuor
Astro del Ciel, Pargol Divin
Mite Agnello, Redentor
Tu disceso a scontare l'error,
Tu sol nato a parlare d'amor
(x2)Luce dona alle menti ,pace infondi nei cuor


French.png French translation

Belle nuit, douce nuit,
une étoile nous conduit
à l'étable de l'Enfant
qui vien de naitre maintenant
Sur l'humide paille
dans la nuit en plein vent.

Petit Enfant, tout souriant
nous t'apportons ces présents
prends ces bonbons, prends ces joujoux
ces belles images
souris et bénis nous.


Spanish.png Spanish translation

Noche de paz, noche de amor,
Paz entre los mas fuertes,
Fraternidad entre los mayores.
Amor para los mas pequenos.
Ternura para los mas débiles.
Jesus para todos.
