Em G Em G
[Verse 1]
Em G
Stars lingered over us shepherds, we commoners
Am Em D
Watching our flocks by night
Em G
Then in the sky above glory of heaven shone
Am B7 Em
Angel appeared in the light
[Chorus 1]
C G
And in four hundred years
B7 Em G
Not one word was spo - ken
C G
And the prophets were silent
B7 Em G
Leaving us in the dark - ness
C G
But then what should appear
Am Em
Do we hear a new sound in this silent night?
D C
For the first time
B Em
Not a si - lent night
[Instrumental]
Em G Am Em D
[Verse 2]
Em G
Come let us go and see a long expected king
Am Em D
Hurry, new paths we had made
Em G
"What is this?" wondered we. "God in humanity?
Am B7 Em
Were we expecting a babe?"
[Chorus 2]
C G
And in four hundred years
B7 Em G
What a sight for sore eyes
C G
Of the light through our tears
B7 Em G
Hearts were pierced by a babe's cry
C G
And we fell to our knees
Am Em
At the sound of a king, this our hearts reply
D C
For the first time
B Em
Not a si - lent night
[Instrumental]
Em G Am Em D
[Verse 3]
Em G
Now, we still waited long to sing our final song
Am Em D
And this whole earth joins in groaning
Em G
Someday soon we will see the glory of our king
Am B7 Em
Take us to our final home
[Chorus 3]
C G
And the trumpets will sound
B7 Em G
With all evil defeated
C G
We will rise from the ground
B7 Em G
With this story completed
C G
All will fall to their knees
Am Em
At the sight of a king, this our hearts reply
D C
For all time
B7 Em
Not a si - lent night
