    I have just been looking for the German words to Silent Night.
    I usually sing a couple of verses at some 'do' in the week before Christmas, it was the local folk club most years, ending with the first verse in English so people can join in.
    The last few years put a stop to most gatherings, but this year - perhaps, it will be possible.
    Few people know why, these days.

    Anne, if you're still looking, I believe the German text here is accurate. The site is ChoralWiki/Choral Public Domain Library.

    Stille Nacht sounds beautiful in German. It's nice in English but it was made for German.
    Those ancient U Nialls from Donegal were a randy bunch.

    Thank you for that - I have got the words written out, but not so neatly done and with the music.
