SONG NOTES

Silent Night, originally Stille Nacht in German, was composed by Franz Xaver Gruber and Joseph Mohr. The song was first performed in an Austrian church on Christmas Eve 1818.

Alternate English verse:

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
