"Silent Night" (German: "Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht") is a popular Christmas carol. The original lyrics of the song "Stille Nacht" were written in Oberndorf bei Salzburg, Austria, by the priest Father Joseph Mohr and the melody was composed by the Austrian headmaster Franz Xaver Gruber. In 1859, John Freeman Young (second Bishop, Episcopal Diocese of Florida) published the English translation that is most frequently sung today. The version of the melody that is generally sung today differs slightly (particularly in the final strain) from Gruber's original, which was a sprightly, dance-like tune in 6/8 time, as opposed to the slow, meditative lullaby version generally sung today. Today, the lyrics and melody are in the public domain.

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, heaven afar

Heavenly hosts sing's halleluja,

Christ the Savior is born!

Christ the Savior is born

Oh Silent night

Silent night

Over, over, over a holy night, holy nightt!

Jesus Christ the savior is born

Silent night

Over, over, over a holy night, a holy nightt!

Jesus Christ the savior is born

Silent night

Over, a holy night, holy nightt!

Jesus Christ the savior is born, hallelujah

Silent night

Over, a holy nightt!

Jesus Christ the savior is born

Ooh, Silent night

Over, a holy nightt!

Jesus Christ the savior is born

This version is in a dead heat with Mahaila Jackson & the original Temptations version in my book. I can never get tired of all three.

I have looked for this version for years! This is my second favorite version after Mahalia Jackson tore it up! The Temptations 1978 version is my number three.

Loved it. Temptations were one of my favorite groups. There isn't anybody out there now who even comes close to them.
