Silent Night

(arranged by reba mcentire)

(what's written in sentences and not verse at the beginning is what

Reba

Explains at the beginning, the rest is the song)



On christmas eve in 1818

A blizzard stranded the tiny village of ogledorf

Nestled in the austrian mountains

That same day the people of st. nicholas' church found their organ

Broken

So the priest and organist began composing a song that could be sung

Without

An organ yet beautiful enough to express their christmas joy

All day and all night long they worked

And at midnight the gentle carol silent night was born

The pure clear tones echoed through the hills

And the world has been captured by the beauty of that simple song ever

Since.



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

Shepeards pray at the sight

Glory streams from heaven afar

Heavenly ? sing hallelujah

Christ the savior is born

Christ the savior is born



Silent night

Holy night

All is calm

And 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

Sleep in heavenly peace
