Noche de paz, noche de amor

Representative Text

1 Noche de paz, noche de amor.
Todo duerme en derredor.
Entre los astros que esparcen su luz,
bella anunciando al niñito Jesús,
brilla la estrella de paz,
brilla la estrella de paz.

2 Noche de paz, noche de amor.
Oye humilde, fiel pastor:
coros celestes proclaman salud,
gracias y glorias en gran plenitud,
por nuestro buen Redentor,
por nuestro buen Redentor.

3 Noche de paz, noche de amor.
Ved qué bello resplandor
Luce en el rostro del niño Jesús,
en el pesebre, del mundo la Luz;
astro de eterno fulgor,
astro de eterno fulgor.
