English lyrics from Relief Society Song Book, 1919, no. 82

1. Silent night, peaceful night!
All things sleep, shepherds keep
Watch on Bethlehem’s silent hill,
And unseen, while all is still,
Angels watch above,
Angels watch above.

2. Bright the star shines afar,
Guiding trav’lers on their way,
Who their gold and incense bring,
Off’rings to the promised King,
Child of David’s line,
Child of David’s line.

3. Light around! joyous sound!
Angel voices wake the air;
“Glory be to God in heav’n,
Peace on earth to you is giv’n,
Christ the Savior’s come,
Christ the Savior’s come.”
