Leisure Time Christmas Songs
Silent Night 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 afarHeavenly 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 faceWith dawn of redeeming grace,Jesus Lord, at Thy birth.Jesus Lord, at Thy birth.
