1. Still the night, holy the night! Sleeps the world; hid from sight, Mary and Joseph in stable bare Watch o’er the Child beloved and fair, Sleeping in heavenly rest. 2. Still the night, holy the night! Shepherds first saw the light, Heard resounding clear and long, Far the near, the angel-song, ‘Christ the Redeemer is born!’, 3. Still the night, holy the night! Son of God, O how bright Love is smiling from Thy face! Strikes for us now the hour of grace, Saviour, since Thou art born!
