Silent Night Lyrics

'Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a mouse

In my mind, I want you to be free
For all of our friends, to listen to me
Now hear what I say
We wish you a Merry Christmas
To each one of you

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, heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night.
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar.
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia.
Christ the Savior is born, oh yes he is.
Christ, Christ the Savior is born.

What a joyous day

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, sleep in heavenly, heavenly peace.

Just sleep and relax your mind
To all our family and friends
I want you to remember this line
Merry Christmas to all of you
Merry Christmas to all of you

Merry Christmas from The Temptations.

The Way You Do The Things You Do

'Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a mouse

In my mind, I want you to be free
For all of our friends, to listen to me
Now hear what I say
We wish you a Merry Christmas
To each one of you

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, heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night.
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar.
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia.
Christ the Savior is born, oh yes he is.
Christ, Christ the Savior is born.

What a joyous day

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, sleep in heavenly, heavenly peace.

Just sleep and relax your mind
To all our family and friends
I want you to remember this line
Merry Christmas to all of you
Merry Christmas to all of you

Merry Christmas from The Temptations.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

One of the prettiest songs ever, in my opinion.

I can dig that. If they're not singing "Silent Night," I can't stand the song! lol

I love Blue's deep voice mixed with Eddie's high notes. Gorgeous stuff!
