How still is the hour of this calm, silent night,
The moon’s silver beams fill our hearts with delight;
The zephyr’s low song, and the stars in the sky,
Seem to whisper to us of a sweet by-and-by,
Yes, whisper to us of a sweet by-and-by.
Lovely, silent night, lovely, silent night.

We wander adown thro’ the tall, murmuring trees,
And breathe in the joys of the soft, balmy breeze;
The nightingale’s song fill our hearts with delight,
As we wander along in the sweet silent night,
We wander along in the sweet silent night.
Lovely, silent night, lovely, silent night.

No hour of the day is so sweet and so still,
No hour of the day can our bosoms so fill
With pleasure, And freedom from toil and from care,
As the still, quiet hour of a night calm and fair,
As the still, quiet hour of a night calm and fair.
Lovely, silent night, lovely, silent night.
