Stille Nacht Heilige Nacht is one of the most known German Christmas Songs which will be chanted mostly at Christmas Eve. Here is the German text and a translation will follow below:

1. Stille Nacht! Heil'ge Nacht!

Alles schläft; einsam wacht

Nur das traute heilige Paar.

Holder Knab' im lockigten Haar,

|: Schlafe in himmlischer Ruh! :|

2. Stille Nacht! Heil'ge Nacht!

Gottes Sohn, o wie lacht

Lieb' aus deinem göttlichen Mund,

Da uns schlägt die rettende Stund'.

|: Jesus in deiner Geburt! :|

3. Stille Nacht! Heil'ge Nacht!

Die der Welt Heil gebracht,

Aus des Himmels goldenen Höhn,

Uns der Gnaden Fülle läßt sehn,

|: Jesum in Menschengestalt! :|

4. Stille Nacht! Heil'ge Nacht!

Wo sich heut alle Macht

Väterlicher Liebe ergoß,

Und als Bruder huldvoll umschloß

|: Jesus die Völker der Welt! :|

5. Stille Nacht! Heil'ge Nacht!

Lange schon uns bedacht,

Als der Herr vom Grimme befreit

In der Väter urgrauer Zeit

|: Aller Welt Schonung verhieß! :|

6. Stille Nacht! Heil'ge Nacht!

Hirten erst kundgemacht

Durch der Engel Alleluja,

Tönt es laut bei Ferne und Nah:

|: "Jesus der Retter ist da!" :|

Here a fairly literal translation by Frank from 1997 (found on: http://ingeb.org/Lieder/stillena.html)

1. Silent night! Holy night!

All's asleep, one sole light,

Just the faithful and holy pair,

Lovely boy-child with curly hair,

|: Sleep in heavenly peace! :|

2. Silent night! Holy night!

God's Son laughs, o how bright.

Love from your holy lips shines clear,

As the dawn of salvation draws near,

|: Jesus, Lord, with your birth! :|

3. Silent night! Holy night!

Brought the world peace tonight,

From the heavens' golden height

Shows the grace of His holy might

|: Jesus, as man on this earth! :|

4. Silent night! holy night!

Where today all the might

Of His fatherly love us graced

And then Jesus, as brother embraced.

|: All the peoples on earth! :|

5. Silent night! Holy night!

Long we hoped that He might,

As our Lord, free us of wrath,

Since times of our fathers He hath

|: Promised to spare all mankind! :|

6. Silent night! Holy night!

Sheperds first see the sight.

Told by angelic Alleluja,

Sounding everywhere, both near and far:

|: "Christ the Savior is here!" :|
