Luke 2:2-10 <\/strong><\/p>\n

“And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.'”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Watch<\/a><\/p>\n

The words of this well loved carol were written in 1818 by Josef Mohr after he had seen a play about the birth of Jesus. He was in a reflective mood and walked to a hill overlooking his village in the Austrian Alps. The view of the snow covered village reminded him of a poem he had written a few years earlier. The poem was about the night the angel announced the birth of Jesus.<\/p>\n

The next day he took the words of his poem to Franz Gruber, who had just composed a melody. He re-worked the melody to match the words to the poem Mohr written. Our beloved carol, Silent Night<\/em> was born.<\/p>\n

“Silent Night<\/em><\/strong><\/a>“<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Silent night, holy night
\nAll is calm, all is bright
\nRound yon Virgin Mother and Child
\nHoly Infant so tender and mild
\nSleep in heavenly peace
\nSleep in heavenly peace<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Silent night, holy night!
\nShepherds quake at the sight
\nGlories stream from heaven afar
\nHeavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
\nChrist, the Savior is born
\nChrist, the Savior is born<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Silent night, holy night
\nSon of God, love’s pure light
\nRadiant beams from Thy holy face
\nWith the dawn of redeeming grace
\nJesus, Lord, at Thy birth
\nJesus, Lord, at Thy birth<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
