Silent Night/Night of Silence

Written by Franz Xaver Gruber, Joseph Mohr and David Haas

Lyrics
[Kimberly Jordan]
 * Cold are the people, winter of life,
 * We tremble in shadows this cold endless night,
 * Frozen in the snow lie roses sleeping,
 * Flowers that will echo the sunrise,
 * Fire of hope is our only warmth,
 * Weary, its flame will be dying soon.

[Méav Ní Mhaolchatha]
 * 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.

[Kimberly Jordan] (Méav in counterpoint)
 * Voice in the distance, call in the night, (Silent night, holy night,)
 * On wind you enfold us You speak of the light, (Shepherds quake at the sight)
 * Gentle on the ear you whisper softly, (Glories stream from heaven afar)
 * Rumours of a dawn so embracing, (Heavenly hosts sing "Alleluia,)
 * Breathless love awaits darkened souls, (Christ the Savior is born")
 * Soon will we know of the morning. ("Christ the Savior is born")
