Deliverance 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 host sing hallelujah
Christ the savior is born
Christ the savior 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

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

10 years since I heard this, thank you Bb9Ru ! Deliverance, Sacred Warrior, Tourniquet, and Sardonyx were all top notch bands in the Christian metal circuit.

They're back with a new album in the works. Won't be long, now. Plus, they're going back to this more thrashy style than the post Stay of Execution sound.
