Stille Nacht
Silent Night! Holy Night!
Everything is sleeping; lonely wakes up
Just the wedded holy couple.
Holder boy in curly hair,
Sleep in heavenly peace!
Sleep in heavenly peace!
Silent Night! Holy Night!
God's Son! Oh, how laughs love
from your divine mouth,
The hour of salvation strikes us.
Jesus in your birth!
Jesus in your birth!
Silent Night! Holy Night!
Brought to the world salvation,
From heaven's golden heights
We see the fullness of grace
jesus in human form,
Every year again
Alle Jahre wieder
come the Christ child
down to earth,
where we are human.
Returns with his blessing
one in every house,
goes in all ways
in and out with us.
Is also at my side
silent and unrecognized,
dass es treu mich leite
on the dear hand.
O you happy one
O you happy
O you blessed
Merciful Christmas season.
world was lost
Christ was born
Rejoice, rejoice, O Christendom!
O you happy
O you blessed
Merciful Christmas season.
Christ has appeared
to reconcile us
Rejoice, rejoice, O Christendom!
O you happy
O you blessed
Merciful Christmas season.
heavenly armies
rejoice in your honour,
Rejoice, rejoice, O Christendom!
First Noel
The First Noel, the Angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far
To seek for a king was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
