Stilla natt, heliga natt!
Allt är frid. Stjärnan blid
Skiner på barnet i stallets strå
Och de vakande fromma två.
Kristus till jorden är kommen.
Oss är en frälsare född.
Stora stund, heliga stund!
Änglars här slår sin rund
Kring de vaktande herdars hjord,
Rymden ljuder av glädjens ord.
Kristus till jorden är kommen,
Eder är frälsaren född.
Stilla natt, heliga natt!
Mörkret flyr, dagen gryr.
Räddningstimman för världen slår,
Nu begynner vårt jubelår.
Kristus till jorden är kommen.
Oss är en frälsare född.
Still night, holy night!
Everything is calm. The gentle star
Shines on the child on the straw of the barn
And on the pious couple watching
Christ has come to earth.
A Savior is born to us.
Great moment, sacred moment!
The angels have gathered
Around the flock of shepherds watching,
The heavens resound with words of joy.
Christ has come to earth,
A Savior is born to you.
Still night, holy night!
The darkness vanishes, the day is coming.
The hour of the salvation of the world has come,
Now our rejoicing begins.
Christ has come to earth,
A Savior is born to us.
