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!
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
Sleep in heavenly peace

Overall Meaning

Michael Bublé's version of 'Silent Night' is a touching and emotional rendition of the beloved Christmas carol. The lyrics describe the peaceful and still atmosphere surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ. It begins with the familiar lines "Silent night, holy night" which invokes the image of the holy and tranquil moment where the Savior was born. The next lines "All is calm, all is bright" highlights the atmosphere of the night, further emphasising how peaceful it was.


The second verse of the song is a reminder to all Christians of the significance of Jesus' birth. He is referred to as "Son of God" and "love's pure light," shining out from his "holy face" and bringing with him the "dawn of redeeming grace." The song ends with a repeat of the first verse, as if to cement the feelings of calmness and peacefulness evoked by the lyrics of the song.

We have been putting our babies to sleep with this track for 7 years now. They had no idea it was a Christmas carol until they recognised it being performed at a local Carols by Candlelight. They just thought it was a lullaby. Works like a charm. Love your music.
