Stars shine brightly, earth is still.
Hills and valleys, field and woodlands,
All surround the small town Bethlehem.
In a manger Christ the Lord sleeps.
2. Holy night, blessed night,
Angels sing praise, shepherds fear,
Earth and heaven ring with praises, Alleluia all creation sings.
Tell the good news: Christ is born now.
3. Holy night, blessed night,
Christ has come down, dwells with us.
Sacrifice, love, peace and justice Shine upon us like the morning sun.
Grace and glory bless the whole world.
In a manger Christ the Lord sleeps.

Sacrifice, love, peace and justice Shine upon us like the morning sun.
Grace and glory bless the whole world.

The hymn "Holy Night, Blessed Night" (often known as "Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht" in German) was written in 1816, with the music composed by Franz Xaver Gruber and the lyrics written by Joseph Mohr. The song was first performed on Christmas Eve in 1818 in the small village of Oberndorf bei Salzburg, Austria.
Joseph Mohr, a Catholic priest, wrote the lyrics to the hymn, and Franz Gruber, a schoolteacher and organist, composed the music. The song quickly became popular and is now one of the most famous and beloved Christmas carols worldwide, often sung in various languages during the holiday season.
