A snowy hill

Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write about hymns, instruments, recipes, and animals; I hope that I can answer any questions that you might have.

The Subject At Hand


Today, we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn, Silent Night, Holy Night; it was written by Josef Mohr in 1817. John F. Young translated verses 1 and 3 in 1863, and somebody else translated the rest of the song. 

The story behind Silent Night, Holy Night:

It was written after the Napoleonic wars, (which lasted 12 years) and after a volcano erupted, causing it to snow in the summer, which killed the crops.

So Josef Mohr wrote Silent Night as a way to comfort and remind people of Christ.

I can't imagine how terribly they felt. But God brought everything together for the good of all. Because of the hard times, we have a beautiful hymn that brings glory to God. 

Just remember that.

Here's some scripture associated with this hymn:

Luke 2:8-9

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid."

Luke 2:16

"And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger."

Isn't that pretty?




The Lyrics


Verse 1 

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!

Verse 2 

Silent night! Holy Night!

Shepherds quake at the sight;

Glories streams from Heaven afar,

Heavenly hosts song alleluia,

Christ the Savior is born!

Christ the Savior is born!

Verse 3 

Silent night! Holy Night!

Son of God, love's pure light;

Radiant beams from Thy holy face,

With the dawn of redeeming grace,

Jesus, Lord at Thy birth!

Jesus, Lord at Thy birth!

Verse 4 

Silent night! Holy Night!

Here at last, healing light 

From the heavenly kingdom sent,

Abundant grace for our intent.

Jesus, Salvation for all!

Jesus, Salvation for all!

Verse 5

Silent night! Holy Night!

Sleeps the world in peace tonight.

God sends His Son to earth below

A Child from whom all blessings flow 

Jesus embraces mankind!

Jesus embraces mankind!

Verse 6

Silent night! Holy Night!

Mindful of mankind's plight

The Lord in Heav'n on high decreed

From earthly woes we would be freed

Jesus, God's promise for piece!

Jesus, God's promise for piece!

Verse 7

Silent night, holy night!

Wondrous star, lend thy light;

With the angels let us sing,

Alleluia to our King;

Christ the Savior is born!

Christ the Savior is born!

Afterwards

So pretty. I actually don't know this hymn very well. It's pathetic how little Christmas hymns I know.

Merry Christmas!

We decorated the mantle.❤️

Lyrics to the hymn, This Is My Father's world

Image
Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily...
