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!
Shepherds quake at the Sight
Glories stream from Heaven afar
Heavenly Hosts sing Halleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born
***
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 "
" Merry
Christmas "

Silent Night!
The origin of the Christmas
Carol we know as Silent Night was a Poem that was
written in 1816 By an Austrian Priest called
Joseph Mohr.
On Christmas Eve in 1818 in the small Alpine
Village called Oberndorf it is reputed that the
Organ at St. Nicholas Church had broken. Joseph
Mohr gave the Poem of Silent Night
(Stille Nacht)
To his Friend Franz Xavier Gruber and the Melody
For Silent Night was composed with this in Mind.
The Music to Silent Night was therefore intended
For a Guitar and the simple Score was finished in
Time for Midnight Mass.
Silent Night is the most famous Christmas
Carol Of all Time!.
