Silent Night
Nicks Stevie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Silent night! Holy night!
All's asleep, one sole light,
Just the faithful and holy pair,
Lovely boy-child with curly hair,
Sleep in heavenly peace!

Silent night! Holy night!
God's Son laughs, o how bright.
Love from your holy lips shines clear,




As the dawn of salvation draws near,
Jesus, Lord, with your birth!

Overall Meaning

In "Silent Night", Stevie Nicks paints an evocative and mystical picture of the birth of Jesus Christ. The first verse conjures up the stillness and peace of the night, with just a single light shining and the only noise coming from the "faithful and holy pair" of Mary and Joseph. The image of the "lovely boy-child with curly hair" asleep in his manger is one of innocence, vulnerability, and divine wonder. This is a world that is suspended in a moment of profound calm, a moment that is both ordinary and extraordinary.
