Silent night, Holy night.
All is calm, all is bright
Round young virgin, mother and child.
Holy infant, so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace!

Shepherds quake, at the sight
Glories streams from heaven above.
Heavenly hosts sings Hallelujah
Christ the savior is born,

to' be' married' to' Joseph,' but' before' they' came' together,' she' was' found' to' be' pregnant'
through'the'Holy'Spirit.'19'Because'Joseph'her'husband'was'faithful'to'the'law,'and'yet'did'
not'want'to'expose'her'to'public'disgrace,'he'had'in'mind'to'divorce'her'quietly.'20'But'aOer'
he'had'considered'this,'an'angel'of'the'Lord'appeared'to'him'in'a'dream'and'said,'Joseph'
son'of'David,'do'not'be'afraid'to'take'Mary'home'as'your'wife,'because'what'is'conceived'in'
her'is'from'the'Holy'Spirit.'21'She'will'give'birth'to'a'son,'and'you'are'to'give'him'the'name'
