Carol History: Silent Night
The year was 1818. Joseph Mohr was the pastor of a church in Obendorf, a village near Salzburg, Austria. The church’s custom was to have a Christmas Eve service, which included singing with the church’s majestic pipe organ.
A few days before the holiday, Franz Gruber, the church’s music director, came to Pastor Mohr and informed him that the church organ was broken. Franz told the pastor that he tried to repair it, but with no success. From this disappointment came the famous Christmas song, Silent Night.

Silent Night Lyrics:
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.
2. Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar,
heav’nly hosts sing, Alleluia!
Christ, the Savior, is born!
Christ, the Savior, is born!
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.
