The Baseballs Lyrics


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
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from Heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah
Christ, the Savior is born
Christ, the Savior is born

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

Overall Meaning

The song "Silent Night" by The Baseballs is a rendition of the classic Christmas carol that has been a staple during the holiday season for decades. The song is a beautiful tribute to the birth of Jesus Christ, and it speaks of the peace and serenity that came with his arrival. The first verse speaks of the calmness and brightness that enveloped the world at the time of his birth. The second verse alludes to the shepherds who were amazed by the heavenly host that appeared to them, proclaiming the birth of the Savior. And finally, the third verse repeats the first because it is a reminder that despite the unrest and chaos in the world, Christ brings peace and harmony to every heart that receives him.


The lyrics of this song beautifully capture the sentiments of Christmas - hope, joy, peace, love, and salvation. The traditional melody is soothing and ethereal, and it is a great reminder of how the birth of the Savior brought peace to the world. The song is a perfect reflection of the true meaning of Christmas and the peace that comes with it. This song takes us back in time to the moment when the Prince of Peace was born, and reminds us to celebrate this wonderful gift with gratitude and awe.
