Silent Night
Holy night
All is calm
All is bright
Round, young virgin
Mother and Child
Holy Infant
So tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace.

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

All is calm
All is bright
Round, young virgin
Mother and Child

So tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Noche de paz, noche de amor,
Todo duerme en derredor.
Entre sus astros que esparcen su luz
Bella anunciando al niñito Jesús
Brilla la estrella de paz
Brilla la estrella de paz.

Noche de paz, noche de amor,
Todo duerme en derredor
Sólo velan en la oscuridad
Los pastores que en el campo están;
Y la estrella de Belén
Y la estrella de Belén.

Noche de paz, noche de amor,
Todo duerme en derredor;
sobre el santo niño Jesús
Una estrella esparce su luz,
Brilla sobre el Rey
Brilla sobre el Rey.

Noche de paz, noche de amor,
Todo duerme en derredor
Fieles velando allí en Belén
Los pastores, la madre también.
Y la estrella de paz
Y la estrella de paz.

Noche de paz, noche de amor,
Todo duerme en derredor.
Entre sus astros que esparcen su luz
Bella anunciando al niñito Jesús
Brilla la estrella de paz
Brilla la estrella de paz.

I AM AN OVERCOMER

God used this song when I was on drugs and my life was messed up. Silent Night would come on the rock station I was listening to and I would weep uncontrollably . I know that was the Holy Spirit touching my 💔. Every time I hear this song I still weep cause of the goodness and persistent of God chasing after me
I am forever grateful ❗

I love your music and singing. I am 88 years old, partly blind but I listen to you at night on my I pad. Your voice reminds me and years ago when I sang but gave it up to raise my little boy. My name is Mary Reifsteck and I am from Bridgeton, Missouri 63044. Love your songs and wish you success.

For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all people, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel. Happy Christmas to all of you.

Josh Groban has the voice of an angel! It’s one of the most beautiful, magnificent voices I’ve ever heard! I was fortunate enough to go to one of his In the Round tour stops in Phoenix in 2013, and he sounds just as good LIVE as in the studio recordings! I’m a die hard fan of his.

Merry Christmas, everyone. May God bless you all with good health, joy, and success in life.
