"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
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
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."
-Joseph Mohr
What beautiful words. Sure, we sing them every time Christmas rolls around, but have you ever stopped and really allowed yourself to dwell on them? Have you really felt them? What an embodiment of the beauty of Christ's birth, of the majesty of His character, of the splendor He truly is. Imagine yourself there; insert yourself into this beautiful picture and let your mind take you back...way back, into this tiny little town called Bethlehem, the night a King was being born..that silent, holy night.
