Jingren Wu (1921) • English

Primary Scripture: Luke 2:7

Verse 1

Clear, calm night; Holy night; Earth in stillness bathes in starry light. Fields and forests, vales and craggy steeps Circle round the town of Bethlehem; Jesus, Savior, manger-born sleeps.

Verse 2

Clear, calm night; Holy night; Shepherds quaking, angels in the heights; Praises ring through Heav'n and all the Earth; All creation alleluia sings, Bearing good news, Hailing Christ's birth.

Verse 3

Clear, calm night; Holy night; God is with us, sent at Heav'n's delight. Peace and justice, sacrifice and love Brighten spirits like the dawning sun, Blessing Earth with grace from above.
