Silent Night
Embracing Divine Serenity: Rascal Flatts' Silent Night Revelation
Lyrics
Silent night, holy night!
Peaceful and sacred night
All is calm, all is bright
Everything is tranquil and illuminated
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Depiction of the Virgin Mary with the Child Jesus
Holy infant so tender and mild
Emphasis on the tender and gentle nature of the infant Jesus
Sleep in heavenly peace
Resting in a tranquil and divine peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Reiteration of the serene peace
Silent night, holy night!
A repetition of the peaceful and sacred nature of the night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Shepherds feeling intense emotion or fear at what they witness
Glories stream from heaven afar
Glory emanating from a distant heavenly place
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Angelic beings praising with joyous songs
Christ the Savior is born!
Recognition of the birth of Jesus Christ as the Savior
Christ the Savior is born
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of Christ's birth as the Savior
Silent night, holy night!
Reiteration of the peaceful and sacred night
Son of God love's pure light
Describing Jesus as the embodiment of pure love and light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
Divine light radiating from Jesus' holy countenance
With dawn of redeeming grace
Marking the beginning of a period of redemption and grace
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Acknowledging Jesus as Lord from the moment of His birth
Jesus Lord, Jesus Lord, Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Repetition emphasizing Jesus' Lordship at His birth
Oh Jesus
An invocation or acknowledgment of Jesus
