Silent Night
The night is silent but filled with passionate hope as Shannon Caine looks toward the future with the lyrics of the sacred song, Silent Night.
This song of serenity, sung by the author of NORTHSTAR in 2018, conveys the wish for Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht. This wish of passionate hope has come down the centuries, with abiding faith, since this hymn was first sung on Christmas Eve 1818 in a small church in Austria.
Silent Night
Melody: Franz Gruber
Lyrics: Father Joseph Mohr
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 Alleluia!
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.
