Silent Night

It's Christmas Eve! And the perfect time to sing Silent Night, my favorite Christmas carol ever. If you don't know all the lyrics, time to brush up! The original version (in German) came from Austria (1818). I wonder if anyone ever tried adapting this song in Filipino.

Silent Night

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round 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 Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
