Silent Night

Lyrics

Silent night, holy night All is calm, and 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 Glory beams from Thy holy face With a dawn of redeeming grace Christ the Savior is born Christ the Savior is born Silent night, holy night Son of God, love's pure light Radiant beams from heaven afar Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia Jesus Lord at Thy birth Jesus Lord at Thy birth Silent night Those words are true For on one day, we get pompous and religious With grеat ornaments and great, great facadеs But how many silent nights do we have in denying Jesus Christ? The other 363 days of the year How many times do those who put on false tears And profess the kind of reverence on one day are hypocrites? Right in his name, professing his name Fornicating with children, fornicating with young girls And professing his name A hatred of races, a secondary class and a third-dary class And yet, we put on our best faces on one silent night of the year But our silent nights in professing Jesus Christ's name Every day of the year, in the shame of mentioning the name Jesus Christ in public because our friends won't like it Our business friends may deny us It's not chic to mention the name of Jesus Christ So we mention God, and we mention Lord But we're really silent to his ways We're really silent, we have silent nights every day of our lives Except on Christmas Eve Oh, ye hypocrites, oh Lord be merciful to me, a sinner Sing the song, but first do his deeds Silent night, holy night Son of God, love's pure light Radiant beams from Thy holy face With a dawn of redeeming grace Jesus Lord at Thy birth Jesus Lord at Thy birth
