[Jack Avery]
Silent night

[Jack Avery; Zach Herron harmonizing]
Holy night

[Jonah Marais]
(Holy night)

[Jack Avery; Zach Herron & Corbyn Besson harmonizing]
And all is calm
And all is bright

[Jonah Marais]
(All is bright)

[Jack Avery; Corbyn Besson harmonizing; Zach Herron background vocals]
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child

[Jack Avery; Zach Herron harmonizing; Corbyn Besson ad-libs]
Holy Infant so tender and mild

[Jack Avery & Daniel Seavey; Corbyn Besson & Zach Herron background vocals]
Sleep in heaven, heavenly peace, heavenly peace
[Jonah Marais]
(Heavenly peace)

[Jack Avery & Daniel Seavey; Corbyn Besson & Zach Herron background vocals]
Sleep in heaven, heavenly peace, heavenly peace

[Jonah Marais]
(Heavenly, pea-ea-ea-eace)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
