The hymn for today is, “Silent Night, Holy Night.” No song says, “Christmas” to me as much as this one. And who better to sing it than the great Bing Crosby, a true legend.
Originally written in German, this song touches the hearts of all people everywhere. It is a picture of perfect peace. Our Savior can bring peace to this troubled world. Imagine a world in which all people bow before Jesus as Lord, loving one another.
Joseph Mohr 1816 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. |
