Silent Night Lyrics

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 afar

heavenly hosts sing Alleluia

Christ, the saviour is born

Christ, the saviour is born

Silent night, holy night

son of God, love's pure light

radiant beams from thy holy face

with the dawn of redeeming grace

Jesus, Lord, at thy birth

Jesus, Lord, at thy birth

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.
