Lyrics

Verse 1

Silent night, a night so holy

Empty stalls, empty hearts

Silent night, it should be holy

Proclaimed by angels, written in stars

Verse 2

Silent night, does no one hear it?

Where’s His throne, His crown, His home?

Silent night, does no one tell it?

This is our King come to be born

Chorus 1

The night should not have been silent

The King has come, wrapped in love

We should not have kept quiet

Should’ve told on the mountain that Jesus is here

The night should not have kept silent that year

Verse 3

They should know that Jesus grows up

He came to die, He came to die

They should know what we know of

They know He came, they don’t know why

Chorus 2

This night should not be silent

The King has come, wrapped in love

We should not keep quiet

We should tell on the mountain that Jesus is here

This night should not be silent this year

Bridge

Wrapped in grave clothes, slept in a tomb

Gifts for a funeral, told there’s no room

Killed for His mercy, abandoned, alone

The next time He comes, the whole earth will know

Chorus 3

That night will not be silent

The King will come, wrapped in love

We will not be quiet

When His feet split the mountain, Jesus has arrived

The night will not be silent this time

Chorus 4

The night will never be silent

The King has come, wrapped in love

We will never be quiet

We will sing with the angels, “hallelujah”

The night will never be silent again
