Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Til He appears and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees; O hear the Angel voices
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night, divine, O night divine
Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His Gospel is Peace
Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother
And in His name, all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us Praise His Holy name
Christ is the Lord; O praise His name forever!
His power and glory evermore, evermore proclaim
His power and glory evermore, evermore proclaim
O night, divine, O night divine
The lyrics to U Me 2 feat. Anka's song The Night are reminiscent of the traditional Christmas carol, "Silent Night". The song highlights the importance of the birth of Jesus Christ, the son of God. The first stanza speaks of the peacefulness of the night where everyone is sleeping except for the "faithful and holy pair" - referring to Mary and Joseph, who were watching over the baby Jesus.
In the second stanza, the miracle of the birth of Jesus is described, as "God's Son laughs, oh how bright". The love that emanates from the "holy lips" of Jesus shows the dawn of salvation is near. The third stanza tells us that the birth of Jesus has brought peace to the world, showing the grace and power of God. Jesus is depicted as man on this earth.
The fourth stanza explains how the fatherly love of God has been bestowed on humanity through the birth of Jesus. The people of the earth are all embraced by Jesus, making him the brother of every person on the earth. The fifth and final stanza highlights how the shepherds were the first to witness the presence of the savior, and they spread the news of the birth of the messiah to everyone.
The song's lyrics are a beautiful and reverent tribute to the birth of Jesus Christ, whose arrival brought salvation and peace to the world.

Silent night! Holy night!
The night is peaceful and sacred
All's asleep, one sole light,
Everything is quiet except for one light
Just the faithful and holy pair,
Only the faithful and holy couple are present
Lovely boy-child with curly hair,
There is a beautiful baby with curly hair
Sleep in heavenly peace!
The baby is sleeping peacefully in heaven

Long we hoped that He might,
We have been hoping for a long time
As our Lord, free us of wrath,
That Jesus, as our Lord, would save us from punishment
Since times of our fathers He hath
As He promised our forefathers
Promised to spare all mankind!
He promised to save all of humanity
Shepherds first see the sight.
The shepherds were the first to see what was happening
Told by angelic Hallelujah,
The angels told them with a joyful song
Sounding everywhere, both near and far:
The song was heard both nearby and far away
"Christ the Savior is here!"
The savior, Christ, has been born!
