Silent Night
Elvis Presley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Glorious strains from Heaven afar
Heavenly Hosts sing Alleluia
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born
In this traditional Christmas carol, Elvis Presley sings a moving tribute to the birth of Jesus Christ. The first verse of the song creates an image of peace and tranquility, with the whole world quiet and calm. The next line of the verse describes a holy family - the virgin Mary and her infant child. There is an ethereal quality to the song that really captures the spirit of the season. The second verse introduces a new element - the appearance of angels who sing and cause the shepherds to tremble with awe. The repetition of the phrase "Silent night, holy night" emphasizes the sacredness of the moment.
Throughout the song, Elvis's powerful vocals create a sense of reverence for the subject matter. There is something truly timeless about this song. The lyrics, coupled with Elvis's emotional delivery, make this a truly beautiful rendition of one of the most beloved Christmas carols of all time. It's a reminder to us all, regardless of our religious beliefs, of the importance of love, hope, and peace.

Silent Night
Silent night sacred night
Everything is calm and everything is bright.
Around the virgin mother and baby
Holy child, so sweet and gentle
Sleep in heavenly peace.
They sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night sacred night
Shepherds tremble at the sight
Glorious sounds of the distant sky
Spirits of the heavens sing hallelujah,
Christ the savior was born
Christ the Savior was born.

Elvis Presley really was a reference in music, it's a shame he stopped singing Christian songs, his male voice was unique, I'm not here to judge his relationship with God, but we all need to learn to deal with our own ego, including me. Rest in peace.
