Still the night, holy the night!\nSleeps the world; hid from sight,\nMary and Joseph in stable bare\nWatch o’er the child belovéd and fair,\nSleeping in heavenly rest. (2)\n2. Still the night, holy the night!\nShepherds first saw the light,\nHeard resounding clear and long,\nFar and near, the angel-song,\nChrist the Redeemer is here. (2)\n56\n3. Still the night, holy the night!\nSon of God, O how bright\nLove is smiling from thy face!\nStrikes for us now the hour of grace;\nSaviour, since thou art born! (2)
