advent: stille nacht

Oberndorf, 1888, the church organ broken, Franz Gruber, with his guitar began a tradition, “Silent Night.”

May all of you join me in taking time to light a candle and sing at church, with family, yourself at home, with a choir, an orchestra, a guitar, or with a download.

Silent night, holy night!
Son of God love’s pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
