1 The holly and the ivy

when they are both full grown,

of all the trees that are in the wood

the holly bears the crown.

Refrain:

The rising of the sun

and the running of the deer,

the playing of the merry organ,

sweet singing in the choir.

2 The holly bears a blossom,

white as the lily flower,

and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,

to be our sweet Saviour. [Refrain]

3 The holly bears a berry,

as red as any blood,

and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ

to do poor sinners good. [Refrain]

4 The holly bears a prickle,

as sharp as any thorn,

and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ

on Christmas day in the morn. [Refrain]

5 The holly bears a bark,

as bitter as any gall,

and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ

for to redeem us all. [Refrain]

6 The holly and the ivy,

when they are both full grown,

of all the trees that are in the wood

The holly bears the crown. [Refrain]

1 Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,

the little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head;

the stars in the heavens looked down where He lay,

the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

2 The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes,

but little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes.

I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky

and stay by my side until morning is nigh.

3 Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee to stay

close by me forever, and love me, I pray.

Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,

and fit us for heaven, to live with Thee there.

Stille Nacht !
Heilige Nacht !
Alles Schläft, ein samwacht nur das traute, hoch heilige Paar
Holder knabe im lockigen Haar
Schlafe in himmlischer, Ruh'
Schlafe in himmlischer, Ruh !

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,
Christ the Savior is born!
Christ the Savior is born.

Alles Schläft, ein samwacht nur das traute, hoch heilige Paar

Holder knabe im lockigen Haar

Schlafe in himmlischer, Ruh'

Hirten erst Kund gemacht

Lurch der Engel Halleluja

Tönt es laut von fern und nah

Christ der Retter ist da,

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 Savior is born!
Christ the Savior is born.

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