Silent Night
Ali Lohan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 loves pure light
Radiant beams from thy Holy face with the dawn of redeeming Grace
Jesus Lord at thy birth Jesus Lord at thy birth

Silent Night, Holy Night,




Silent Night, Holy Night,
Silent Night.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ali Lohan's version of "Silent Night" perfectly capture the peaceful and serene atmosphere that Christmas brings. The opening lines of the song, "Silent Night, Holy Night, All is calm, all is bright," set the scene of a quiet and tranquil night, with the baby Jesus snuggled up against his tender mother, Mary. The second verse of the song depicts the shepherds, who were believed to have been the first to have witnessed the birth of Jesus, shaking with fear at the sight of a multitude of angels singing the praises of the newborn king. The third and final verse of "Silent Night" is a beautiful and awe-inspiring tribute to Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The lyric explains how Jesus' face radiates light which brings dawn to a world that was once hopelessly lost.


What makes "Silent Night" so special is that it is one of the oldest Christmas hymns still in use today. The song was first written in 1816 by a Catholic priest named Joseph Mohr, who wrote the lyrics to the song in German. Two years later, Franz Gruber composed the beautiful melody which we still sing today. Because of its heart-touching message and relatable tune, the song quickly became popular amongst German-speaking congregations.
