about

As alluded to before, this is a German carol. The original was by Franz Xaver Gruber (tune) and Joseph Mohr (text). After trying a few different arrangement possibilities on this one, we opted for the straight-ahead and simple approach. Why mess with perfection?

lyrics

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.

Silent night, Holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord at thy birth
Jesus, Lord at thy birth.

Silent night, Holy night
Shepherds quake, at the sight
Glories stream from heaven above
Heavenly, hosts sing Hallelujah.
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born
