Welcome o silent night, so peaceful,
under the Southern Cross,
sweet memories of days gone by,
from starry skies are tossed.
Christmas comes! Christmas comes!
Glory be to God!
Grant us a sunny Summer Christmas,
in our dear land, o Lord!
Gently the Christmas bells are ringing
in ancient sound and style.
Even the night in quiet silence
ponders the birth awhile.
Christmas comes! Christmas comes!
Glory be to God!
Grant us a sunny Summer Christmas,
in our dear land, o Lord!
Feel on this day God’s warm affection,
treasure this great event.
God gave his Son to us, his only,
his Christmas gift, he sent!
Christmas comes! Christmas comes!
Glory be to God!
Grant us a sunny Summer Christmas,
under the Southern
Cross! A translation of the Afrikaans carol by Koos du Plessis - "Somerkersfees".
