SILENT NITE
(Silent Night by Joseph Mohr (1792 – 1848)
Tr. By Stopford Augustus Brooke (1832 – 1916)
Set to new tune by Nana Odei Ofei, November 2005)

Silent night, holy night;
Sleeps the world; hid from sight…
Silent night, holy night,
Sleeps the world; hid from sight…

Mary and Joseph in stable bare…
Mary and Joseph in stable bare
Watch over the child beloved and fair
Sleeping in heavenly rest.

Mary and Joseph in stable bare
Mary and Joseph in stable bare
Watch over the child beloved and fair
Sleeping in heavenly rest.

Watch over the child beloved and fair
Sleeping in heavenly rest

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds first saw the light.
Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds first saw the light,

Heard resounding clear and long
Heard resounding clear and long
Far and near, the angel-song:
‘Christ the Redeemer is here!”

Love is smiling from thy face!
Love is smiling from thy face!
Strikes for us now the hour of grace,
Savior, since thou art born!

Strikes for us now the hour of grace,
Savior, since thou are born!
