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......
