Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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!
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing "Alleluia"!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour 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 and all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
The song "Silent Night" is a Christmas carol that has been translated into numerous languages and has become a staple in Christmas celebrations around the world. The lyrics of the song paint a vivid picture of the serene and peaceful night when Jesus was born. The first stanza sets the tone for the entire song with the imagery of a calm and bright night, with Mary and the baby Jesus resting peacefully.
The second stanza brings in the image of the shepherds who were initially startled by an angel in the sky. The glories from heaven reflected on earth along with the singing of the angels proclaiming the birth of the savior are described in the lyrics. The stanza ends with the declaration of Christ's birth.
The third stanza is the most profound and intimate of all, as the lyrics reveal the true identity of Jesus as the Son of God, who came to earth to bring love and light to mankind. The radiant beams of light that come from His holy face signify the dawn of hope and redemption for the world. The stanza ends with the acknowledgment of Jesus as the Lord, who was born on that silent holy night.

All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and Child.
Holy Infant, so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace;

All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin, mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night (Lord of my life) holy night (I sing to You)

This arrangement perfectly highlights each one of their voices and they sound beautiful together. I especially love how they don’t try to outdo each other - they just let the beauty of the song, their voices and the message shine through. Love this version!!!

I could've lived without Reba moaning like a sick cow. Trisha and Kelly sound like butter together..so smooth.
