Silent night. Holy night - Hymn with Lyrics


1.  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.

2. Silent night! Holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar,
heav'nly hosts sing, “Alleluia!
Christ the Savior is born!
Christ the Savior is born!”

3. 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!

4 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.”

 Scripture; Exodus 15:26-27; Psalm 46:10; Isaiah 7:14; 
Matthew 1:23

The hymn "Away in a Manger" was written in 1882. It is often attributed to either Martin Luther or James R. Murray, though the exact authorship remains unclear.

The earliest known publication of the hymn was in The Little Children's Book in 1885, though some sources suggest the text was written in the 1880s, and it was later set to music by John Thomas McFarland and William J. Kirkpatrick.

The hymn is a beloved Christmas carol, evoking the scene of the newborn Jesus lying in a manger, and it has been a part of the Christmas tradition ever since.
