Silent Night
Jerry Lawson & Talk Of The Town 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 Savior is born
Christ, the Savior is born
Silent night, holy night
Wondrous star, lend thy light
With the angels let us sing
Alleluia to our King
Christ, the Savior is here
Christ, the Savior is here
'Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a mouse
Stockings were hung on the chimney with care
In hopes that St. Nick soon would be here
Oh Lord, this time of the year I get such a special feeling
Just thinking about the blessings
Oh Christ, the Savior was born
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Oh Lord, sleep in heavenly peace
