Another translation of "Stille Nacht" (words by Franz Gruber) -- first posted 2015 -- Dec. 21st ten years ago

1. Silent night, peaceful night!
All things sleep, shepherds keep
Watch on Bethlehem's silent hill;
And unseen, while all is still,
Angels watch above,
Angels watch above.

2. Bright the star shines afar,
Guiding trav'lers on their way;
Who their gold and incense bring,
Offerings to the promised King,¹
Child of David's line,²
Child of David's line.

3. Light around! joyous sound!
Angel voices wake the air;
"Glory be to God in heav'n;
Peace on earth to you is giv'n,
Jesus the Saviour is come,³
Jesus the Saviour is come."

Note:

1. Or: "Peace on earth to you is giv'n,"

2. Or: "Christ the Saviour's come."

3. Or: "Christ the Saviour's come."
