Silent Night Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Sil[G]ent[C] night, holy night.
All [G]is calm, all [C]is bright.
Round [F]yon
Virgin,
[C]Mother and
Child,
[F]Holy
Infant so [C]tender and mild,
[G]Sleep in heavenly [C]peace,
Sleep in heav[G]enly [C]peace.
Silent night, holy night
Shep[G]herds quake [C]at the sight
[F]Glory beams from
[C]Thy holy face
[F]With the dawn of re[C]deeming grace
[G]Christ the
Savior is [C]born
Christ the
[G]Savior is [C]born
Silent night, holy night
[G]Son of
God, [C]love's pure light
Ra[F]ging beams from [C]heaven afar
Heav[F]enly hosts sing
[C]Alleluia
Je[G]sus,
Lord, at
Thy [C]birth
Jesus,
[G]Lord, at
Thy [C]birth
Silent nights
Those words are true
[G]For on one day
We get [C]pompous
And religious
with [F]great ornaments and [C]great,
great [F]facades.
But how [C]many silent nights do
we have [G]in denying
Jesus
Christ?
The other [C]363 days of the year.
How many times do [G]those of us
who put on false [C]tears
and profess the kind
of reverence on one day.
Our hypocrites write in [G]his name,
professing his [C]name, fornicating with children,
[F]fornicating with young girls,
and [C]professing his name.
A hatred of [F]races,
a secondary [C]class and a
[G]We put on our best faces on
[C]one silent night of the year.
But our [G]silent nights in [C]professing
Jesus
Christ's name every day of [G]the year,[C]
in the shame of mentioning the name of
Jesus
Christ in public because our
friends won't like it,
our busi[G]ness friends may deny us.
It's not [C]chick to mention the name of
Jesus
Christ.
So we mention
[F]God, and we mention the
Lord, but we're [C]really silent to
His ways.
We're really [F]silent.
We have silent nights every
day of our [C]lives.
Except for
Christmas
Eve.
[G]Oh, we hypocrites.
Oh,
[C]Lord, be merciful to me, a sinner.
Sing the song [G]at [C]first.[G]
Si[C]lent night, holy night,
[G]Son of
God, [C]love's pure light,
[F]Radiant beams from
[C]Thy holy face,
[F]With the dawn of re[C]deeming grace.
Je[G]sus,
Lord, at thy [C]birth
Jesus,
[G]Lord, at thy [C]birth[C]
I ain't going to get no applause
for this.
But I thank
Jesus
Christ for his blessings, y 'all.
