Barb and I do not speak German. But we listened to "Stille Nacht" a bunch of times, practiced a bit, and thought we would take a shot at singing "Silent Night" in German phonetically accurate. The words to "Stille Nacht" (Silent Night) are below in English and German.

Silent Night (ENGLISH)

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

Stille Nacht (GERMAN)

Stille Nacht! Heil'ge Nacht!
Alles schläft; einsam wacht
Nur das traute hoch heilige Paar.
Holder Knab' im lockigen Haar,
|: Schlafe in himmlischer Ruh! :|
|: Schlafe in himmlischer Ruh! :|
