Thread Name: Christmas songs in original languages
Subject: RE: Christmas songs in original languages
With all these other translations of Silent Night, I think the Scottish hymnal's is well worth noting;
Still the night, holy the night Sleeps the world, hid from sight Mary and Joseph in stable bare Watch oer the child, beloved and fair. Sleep in heavenly rest, sleep in heavenly rest
Still the night, holy the night Shepherds first saw the light Heard resounding clear and strong Far and near the angels' song, Christ the redeemer is here, Christ......
Still the night, holy the night Son of God, oh how bright, Love is smiling from thy face Strike us now, the hour of grace, Savior since thou art born, Savior......
