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,
sleeping in heavenly rest
sleeping in heavenly rest
Still the night, holy the night!
Shepherds first saw the light,
heard resounding clear and long,
far and near, the angel-song,
Christ the Redeemer is here!
Christ the Redeemer is here!
Still the night, holy the night!
Son of God, O how bright,
love is smiling from thy face!
Strikes for us now the hour of grace,
Saviour since thou art born!
Saviour since thou art born!
Little donkey, little donkey
On the dusty road
Got to keep on plodding onwards
With your precious load.
Been a long time, little donkey
Through the winter’s night
Don’t give up now, little donkey Bethlehem’s in sight
Ring out those bells tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Follow that star tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Little donkey, little donkey
Had a heavy day
Little donkey Carry Mary
safely on her way.
Little donkey, little donkey
On the dusty road
There are wise men
waiting for a Sign to
bring them here. –
Ring out those bells tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Follow that star tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem.
Do not falter, little donkey
There’s a star ahead
It will guide you, little donkey
To a cattle shed.
