平安夜(silent Night),又称圣诞夜(Christmas Eve),即圣诞前夕(12月24日),在大部份基督教社会是圣诞节日庆祝节日之一。圣诞夜传统上是摆设圣诞树的日子,但随着圣诞节的庆祝活动提早开始进行,例如美国在感恩节后,不少圣诞树早在圣诞节前数星期已被摆设。
平安夜之歌 Silent Night 平安夜
Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child.
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,
Christ the Savior is born!
Christ the Savior is born.
Silent night, holy night!
Son of God love's pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth.
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth.
平安夜 圣善夜
万暗中 光华射
照着圣母也照着圣婴
多少慈祥也多少天真
静享天赐安眠
静享天赐安眠
平安夜 圣善夜
牧羊人 在旷野
忽然看见了天上光华
听见天军唱哈利路亚
救主今夜降生
救主今夜降生
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round your Virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
