Ina Wroldsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where the shepherd rests his herd
In the cradle warm and old
Lies a newborn ancient soul
Like a secret, like a dream
Sleeping oh so peacefully
All is calm now, all is bright
All of man sings "Silent Night"
In your tiny baby hands
Lies redemption and command
Born to save us, born to heal
And the world bows down and kneels
Like a promise of the truth
All of men will look to you
Kings and shepherds side by side
All rejoice is "Silent Night"
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Be at piece now, little light
While we sing you "Silent Night"
All is calm now, all is bright
All of man sings "Silent Night"
All of man sings "Silent Night"
