1 Stille Nacht Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht, Alles schläft; einsam wacht Nur das traute hochheilige Paar. Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar, Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!

2 Douce nuit Douce nuit, sainte nuit Dans les cieux, l'astre luit. Le mystère annoncé s'accomplit . Cet enfant sur la paille endormi, C'est l'amour infini, c'est l'amour infini!

3 Silent night Silent night. Holy night
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!

4 The original lyrics for the song in German, Stille Nacht, was written by Joseph Mohr and  the melody was composed by Franz X. Gruber. The carol was first performed 192 years ago on 24 December 1818 at the St. Nicholas church in Oberndorf, Austria. Since then the Christmas song has achieved world wide appeal and it is said that there are over 300 translations of the song in the world. The song was sung simultaneously in English and German by troops during the Christmas Truce of 1914 during World War I as it was one carol that soldiers on both sides of the front line knew.
