  • Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht! Alles schläft; einsam wacht Nur das traute hochheilige Paar. Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar, Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh! Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!
  • Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht! Hirten erst kundgemacht Durch der Engel Halleluja, Tönt es laut von fern und nah: Christ der Retter ist da! Christ der Retter ist da!
