Silent Night Lyrics

[Ric.ror]

When I was at school we learnt Silent Night - but it had different lyrics. I think it was Silent Night Hallowed Night I cannot remember any others apart from Sleep my angel divine sleep God's son and mine - did any one else know these?

[garybfsl]

Silent Night, Hallowed Night
All Asleep, nowhere light,
Save where watches the Holy Pair
Blessed Infant, so pure and fair.
Slumber in heav'nly repose,
Slumber in heav'nly repose.

Silent Night, hallowed night.
Shepherds tell thy delight.
Tidings borne by the angel band
Far and wide ring thro' the land
Jesus our Savior is born,
Jesus our savior is born!

This is a translation direct from the German, rather than an anglesized version.

Thanks thats lovely - but its still not the one we learnt - I have remembered a bit about Mary bends his face to see.

None of the three versions there were the ones I learnt - they are all lovely though and it is such a lovely carol
