All was quiet, all was calm, it was a silent night
No one aware that it would be indeed a holy night
The greatest gift that God could give was soon to be delivered
A virgin mother drew her blanket closer as she shivered.
Up in heaven God called together his angels and heavenly host
He told them of the message to share, about his son they were to boast.
No proclamation to princes or kings, no earthly royalty would hear them sing
Only shepherds in a field that night would marvel and quake at the heavenly sight
Quietly a childs cry, came from a manger lowly
Born into the world that night was a baby pure and holy
And don't you know
It was a silent night til Christ was born. And a new star pierced the night
It was a silent night til Christ was born. And angels arrived in a heavenly light
It was a silent night til Christ was born. Then a message came down from above
It was a silent night til Christ was born. The angels sang about a heavenly love.

And they sang,
Gloria, Gloria, Glory to God in heaven and earth
Gloria, Gloria, All heaven rejoice at the Christ Childs birth
Wake the shepherds and sing, Gloria
Go tell the world and sing, Gloria
He is our Savior and King, Gloria
Glor-i-a In the highest
