Merry Christmas

Silent night
Holy night

Throngs of people crowded the way;

The soldiers were pushy and rude.

The journey had ended in Bethlehem,

But there was no where to sleep, no food.

All is calm

All is bright

Poor Mary was tired and heavy with child,

And Joseph was weary with worry.

"Please." he begged of an innkeeper there,

"We need a quiet place in a hurry."

Round yon Virgin,

Mother and child

Holy infant,

So tender and mild

Born in a stable warmed by oxen and sheep,

Then laid in a manger close by,

A babe, Love Incarnate, The King of Kings,

The hope of a world that draws nigh.

Sleep in Heavenly peace.
