Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All's asleep, one sole light,
Just the faithful and holy pair,
Lovely boy-child with curly hair,
Sleep in heavenly peace!
Silent night! Holy night!
God's Son laughs, o how bright.
As the dawn of salvation draws near,
Jesus, Lord, with your birth!
Silent night! Holy night!
Brought the world peace tonight,
From the heavens' golden height
Shows the grace of His holy might
Jesus, as man on this earth!
Silent night! holy night!
Where today all the might
Of His fatherly love us graced
And then Jesus, as brother embraced.
All the peoples on earth!
Silent night! Holy night!
Long we hoped that He might,
As our Lord, free us of wrath,
Since times of our fathers He hath
Promised to spare all mankind!
Silent night! Holy night!
Shepherds first see the sight.
Told by angelic Hallelujah,
Sounding everywhere, both near and far:
"Christ the Savior is here!"
The song "Silent Night Holy Night" by Frank Sinatra is a traditional hymn associated with the holiday season. The song is simplistic in its melody and lyrics, yet its beauty lies in its simplicity. The opening line, "Silent night! Holy night!" creates a serene image of a peaceful and sacred night. The second line, "All's asleep, one sole light," gives an impression of stillness and calm, as everything is quiet and settled, and only one light is shining. The following lines tell the story of Jesus Christ's birth, as seen through the eyes of the shepherds and the angels, using imagery of a beautiful boy-child with curly hair sleeping in heavenly peace. The final verse brings a message of hope and peace for all mankind, as Jesus Christ has come to save us all and bring us salvation. The song is both a reflection on the Christmas story and a celebration of the love and peace that Christ brings to the world.
