きよし この夜
星は光り
救いの御子は 馬槽の中に
眠り給う いと安く
kiyoshi kono yoru
hoshi wa hikari
sukui no miko wa mabune
no naka ni nemuri tamau
ito yasuku
Silent night, holy night*
The stars are bright
God’s Son of salvation, in the stable,
sleeps peacefully
きよし この夜
御告げ受けし
牧人達は 御子の御前に
ぬかずきぬ かしこみて
kiyoshi kono yoru
otsuge ukeshi
bokujintachi wa miko no mimae ni
nukazukinu kashikomite
Silent night, holy night
(They) receive a divine message
The shepherds in the prescence of God’s Son
Bowing on their knees, watching from there
