Silent Night Holy Night
The Piano Guys Lyrics
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
Silent night, holy night
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Sleep in heavenly peace
Holy night
, indeed! The lyrics of The Piano Guys featuring Plácido Domingo's Silent Night Holy Night are incredibly profound and inspiring, capturing the essence of the miraculous birth of Jesus. The opening lines, "Silent night, holy night. All is calm, all is bright," hardly need any explanation. They paint a vivid picture of a serene and peaceful night, free from the usual clamor and chaos of the world. This sense of tranquility is further reinforced by the next lines ("Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child. Holy infant so tender and mild. Sleep in heavenly peace."), in which we see Mary cradling her newborn son, both of them resting peacefully.
The second verse goes on to extol the radiance of Jesus, who is "love's pure light," and whose "holy face" beams with "dawn of redeeming grace." These lines make it clear that Jesus is more than just a child - he is the savior of the world, full of light and hope, and the beginning of a new era in human history. The final line of the song, "Jesus Lord, at thy birth. Sleep in heavenly peace," brings the narrative full circle, as we are reminded of the quiet stillness of that holy night.
Overall, the lyrics to Silent Night Holy Night are beautifully written and convey a deep sense of reverence and awe for the Christmas story.
