The original lyrics of the song Stille Nacht were written in German by the Austrian priest Father Josef Mohr, and the melody was composed by the Austrian headmaster Franz Xaver Gruber. The version of the melody that is generally sung today (as in this version) differs slightly from Gruber's original. The English translation in this version is by John Freeman Young.

《平安夜》（德語：）是一首十分流行的傳統圣诞颂歌，原始的歌词由约瑟夫·莫尔神父使用德文寫成，作曲则是由奥地利一所小学的校长Franz Gruber完成。现代传唱的版本的乐曲与Gruber原始版本有些微的不同（特别是在最后部分的变化）。
