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!
Silent night! holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
glories stream from heaven afar
heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ the Saviour is born!
Christ the Saviour is born!

Я слушаю и плачу! С праздником братья и сестры во Христе. Слушая эту замечательную песню, я ощущаю как сам Христос трогает моё сердце. Оттого и плачу-душа очищается...

Когда я слышу эту песню, я всегда думаю о Франце Ксавьере Груберсе и Йозефе Моресе из Австрии.
Это самая красивая рождественская песня, которую я знаю.
Это также имеет какое-то отношение к миру во всем мире, и господа в Кремле должны принять это близко к сердцу. Спасибо и мира во всем мире и в Украине🇺🇦

Hermoso canto. Cuando niño cante en el coro de mi escuela, por eso me gusta mucho esto que hacen.
Saludos desde Santiago de Chile.
¡Feliz Navidad Domspatzen!
