Doubling up today with “Silent Night” and the German version, “Stille Nacht.” I love this song in the original German.

Just a few days left until Christmas! I hope all your preparations are going well and that the season is treating you kindly.

(ignore the cheesy video for this one; love Sinead O’Connor’s version)

Silent Night
Words by Josef Mohr, Music by Franz X. Gru­ber

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 Alleluia!
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born!

Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, love’s pure light;
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.

Silent night, holy night
Wondrous star, lend thy light;
With the angels let us sing,
Alleluia to our King;
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born!
