I've always liked the words to "Silent Night" as printed in the Scottish hymnal :

Still the night, holy the night
   Sleeps the world, hid from sight.
   Mary and Joseph in stable bare
   Watch o'er the child. beloved and fair.
Sleep in heavenly rest, sleep in heavenly rest.

Still the night, holy the night,
   Shepherds first saw the light.
   Heard resounding clear and strong
   far and near the angels' song,
Christ the redeemer is here .....

Still the night, holy the night,
   Son of God, oh how bright,
   Love is smiling from thy face
   strikes us now the hour of grace,
Savior since thoug art born . . .
