What is this o’ silent night
Your stillness broken with hosanna cry
A host of angels shining bright
Making darkness flee from your blackened sky
Here shepherds sitting beneath your cloak
Of darkness; now are bathed in light
What wondrous news is being spoke
A Saviour is born to you tonight
What message is this brought to ear?
To shepherds listening in fear and awe
When the angel said; be of good cheer
You will find the babe lying on bed of straw
Who is He in manger bed?
This babe in Bethlehem
A pillow of straw for His lovely head
Which one-day would wear a crown of thorn
His gentle hands to a cross one day
Would be nailed to its wood for you and me
Gaze upon this babe lying on the hay
And the Son of God you will see
Jesus the Saviour born in a stable
No room for Him found in crowded inn
Has died; is risen and willing and able
To redeem precious souls and free from sin
Come with thanks giving; let us rejoice
The Saviour was born on Christmas day
Let our hearts unite and to praise give voice
For Jesus the light the truth and the way
Who is He born in Bethlehem
Once sleeping so quietly in stable stall
Now for me sin will not condemn
For He is Jesus my Saviour and my all in all
