Mary sang “Silent Night” at the close of “Downtown Abbey” this season. I wondered at the lyrics and decided to look them up.
1 Still the night, holy the night!
Sleeps the world; hid from sight,
Mary and Joseph in stable bare
watch o'er the child belovèd and fair,
sleeping in heavenly rest,
sleeping in heavenly rest.
2 Still the night, holy the night!
Shepherds first saw the light,
heard resounding clear and long,
far and near, the angel-song,
“Christ the Redeemer is here!”
“Christ the Redeemer is here!”
3 Still the night, holy the night!
Son of God, O how bright
love is smiling from thy face!
Strikes for us now the hour of grace,
Saviour, since thou art born!
Saviour, since thou art born!
Get all the details here.
