Boney M. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Jesus Lord at Thy birth
Snow falls over the trees
Still and calm is the sea
There is a hush o'er the land
Christmas is almost at hand
Peace alone reigns supreme
Like in some wonderous dream
You feel like newborn so grand
Christmas is almost at hand
Hear ye the message that comes from afar
up in the heavens there shines a new star
it's shining brightly and lights up the night
leading the way to a wonderful sight
no one is lonely and no one forlorn
'cause in the manger the christ child is born
Hear ye the message it's simple and clear
time for rejoycing is finally here
fore with the Christ Child there comes a new day
taking your worries and sorrows away
Bury your hatred and bury your grief
hear ye the message and start to believe
Let's keep the christmas bells ringing, not just one day of the year
Let's keep the christmas bells ringing, not just one day of the year
The first part of the song, "Silent Night, Holy Night" is a classic Christmas carol that commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ. It describes the night when Jesus was born, with the pure light of his love shining down upon the world. The second part of the song speaks of the peacefulness and calmness of the season, contrasting the previous lyrics. The snow falls over the trees, while the sea is still and calm, and there is a hush over the land, expressing a sense of tranquility and the anticipation of the arrival of Christmas. The third part of the song shifts the tone to one of joy, as it urges the listener to hear the message of the new star shining in the heavens. For those who believe, this message brings with it a new day, taking away worries and sorrows, burying grief and hatred, and bringing peace and joy. The song concludes with a call to keep the bells of Christmas ringing, not just for a day but for all time.
