Silent Night
Embracing Peace: Toby Keith's Silent Night Revelation
Lyrics
Silent night, holy night!
Describing a peaceful and sacred night
All is calm, all is bright
Everything is tranquil and shining brightly
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Referring to Mary, the Virgin, and her child, Jesus
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Portrays the gentle and tender nature of the infant Jesus
Sleep in heavenly peace
Encouraging peaceful sleep in a heavenly environment
Sleep in heavenly peace
Reiterating the wish for peaceful sleep in heaven
Silent night, holy night!
Repetition of the peaceful and sacred nature of the night
Shepherds quake at the sight!
Shepherds are frightened by the extraordinary sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Describing heavenly glories descending from a distance
Heavenly hosts sing Al-le-lu-ia!
Angelic hosts singing praises (Hallelujah) to God
Christ the Savior is born!
Celebrating the birth of Jesus as the Savior
Christ the Savior is born!
Reaffirming the birth of Jesus as the Savior
Silent night, holy night!
Reiteration of the peaceful and sacred night
Wondrous star, lend thy light!
Calling attention to a remarkable guiding star
With the angels let us sing
Inviting everyone to join in singing with the angels
Alleluia to our King!
Praising and exclaiming joy to the King (Jesus)
Christ the Savior is here
Affirming the presence of Christ as the Savior
Jesus the Savior is here!
Specifically naming Jesus as the Savior
Silent night, Holy night!
Restating the peaceful and sacred nature of the night
Son of God, love's pure light
Describing Jesus as the Son of God and the embodiment of pure love
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
Depicting divine light radiating from Jesus' face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Referring to the arrival of redemption through Jesus' birth
Jesus Lord at thy birth
Acknowledging Jesus as Lord since his birth
