1. Silent night!
Holy night!
By- Joseph Mohr in 1816,
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!
Sleep in heavenly peace!
Silent night!
Holy night!
God's Son laughs, o how bright.
Love from your holy lips shines clear,
As the dawn of salvation draw near,
Jesus, Lord, with your birth!
Jesus, Lord, with your birth!
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!
Jesus, as man on this earth!
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!
All the peoples on earth!
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!
Promised to spare all mankind!
Silent night!
Holy night!
Shepherds first see the sight.
Told by angelic Hallelujah,
Sounding everywhere, both
near and far:
"Christ the Savior is here!"
"Christ the Savior is here!"

2.'Twas
in the moon of wintertime
(Canada's oldest Christmas song) - By
Jean de Brébeuf, Written in 1643
'Twas in the moon of wintertime
When all the birds had fled
That mighty Gitchi Manitou
Sent angel choirs instead
Before their light the stars grew dim
And wondering hunters heard the hymn:
Jesus, your King, is born;
Jesus is born!
In excelsis gloria!
Within a lodge of broken bark,
The tender Babe was found
A ragged robe of rabbit skin
Enwrapped His beauty round
And as the hunter braves drew nigh,
The angel song rang loud and high:
Jesus, your King, is born;
Jesus is born!
In excelsis gloria!
O children of the forest free,
O songs of Manitou
The Holy Child of earth and heav'n
Is born today for you
Come kneel before the radiant Boy
Who brings you beauty, peace and joy:
Jesus, your King, is born;
Jesus is born!
In excelsis gloria!
