Not on bells & xylophone, harmonica: no key keeps every note on those instruments without sharps, flats or bends.
Words (first verse)
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.
