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 "
But if you think about it, that night was anything BUT silent. Now here are the lyrics for:
"That night was anything but Silent" Tell me what you think.
The heavens rang, the angels sing echoing the glad refrain.
That night was anything but silent.
Songs of hope, were everywhere.
Joyous praise filled the air, that night was anything but silent.
That night was anything but silent.
A multitude of angels sang his holy name,
he is the promised one, messiah, king of kings they all proclaimed.
That night was anything but silent.
The angels came that night to say a king of kings is born today.
That night was anything but silent.
Shepard's came to see the sight, I'm sure it was a holy night.
That night was anything but silent.
That night was anything but silent...
A multitude of angels sang his holy name,
he is the promised one, messiah, king of kings they all proclaimed.
That night was anything but silent.
That hill became a holy place where angels trod.
The Shepard's left their sheep to find the lamb of god.
The lamb of god!
That night was anything but silent!
I really like "Silent Night" its a beautiful song. And it will probably be a favourite by thousands of peoples for decades. But my favourite is "That night was anything but silent". It wasn't a silent night, it was a loud glorious night.
Gott segne und frohe Weihnachten!
You're so right, Anna! It was very "unsilent night, holy night, all was NOT calm, all was bright..." ;-)
