This is a Afrikaans version of the popular and well-known Christmas carol, Silent Night, which was originally written in German.
Stille nag, heilige nag
Jesus kind lank verwag
Lig uit lig uit die Vader se ryk
word uit liefde aan mense gelyk
Loof die hemelse Kind !
Loof die hemelse Kind !
Stille nag, heilige nag
Hemelvors, ons gee ag
op die lied van die engelekoor
Herders het dit die eerste gehoor
Juig, die Redder is daar !
Juig, die Redder is daar !
Stille nag, heilige nag !
Jesus, Heer, voor u mag,
voor u ryk moet die duisternis swig;
tot in ewigheid bly U die lig -
Heer, gebore vir ons !
Heer, gebore vir ons !
