This is a unique Christmas song. It is for vocal solo and piano. It builds throughout the song in volume. Perfect for children to sing as the verses are repetitive. See Lyrics below.
In the
Stillness of the Night
In the stillness of the night, a star burned bright
From the heavens shown a light
What a beautiful sight
A tiny baby lay, in a manger filled with hay
His mother stops to pray on this special day
Christ was born, Christ was born, in the stillness of the
night
Shepherds gathered round to see,
The newborn Prince of Peace
Their sheep lie down as they kneel upon the ground
The Angels sing with joy, to the newborn baby boy
They all bow down as their wings touch the ground
Peace on earth, Peace on earth, Good will to me
News spread across the sand and to all the nearby lands
Three kings made the journey, bringing gifts to the baby
God warned them in a dream of Herods deadly scheme
So they made a different plan, going back to their home
land
Silent night, Silent night, Christ was born in Bethlehem
In the silence of the night
