HYMN 60 Silent Night Stille Nacht

During the singing of “Silent Night” the choir will light the candles of persons on the end of the aisles until all candles are lit. Please stay in the pews until the conclusion of the hymn. At the conclusion of the hymn, please extinguish your candle, leave the pew and place the unlit candle in the baskets in the narthex.

Silent night, holy night! All is calm, all is brightRound yon virgin mother and child! Holy infant so tender and mild,

Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night! Shepherds quake at the sight,Glories stream from heaven afar, Heavenly hosts sing: “Al-le-lu-ia;

Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born.”

Silent night, holy night! Son of God, love’s pure lightRadiant beams from Thy holy face, With the dawn of redeeming grace,

Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth, Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.

Silent night, holy night! Wondrous star, lend thy light;With the angels let us sing, Al-le-lu-ia to our King;Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born.
