Silent Night was premiered in a church with a simple guitar and voice singing these profoundly simple lyrics. The organ, the 1800's main church instrument, had been eaten into by some Christmas mice so the plans shifted for Silent Night's first performance. The intimate German lyrics filled the night air and Silent Night became one of the most beloved songs of all time. Years later, its influence had spread across the world. In the middle of World War I on the front of battle, a Christmas truce was called when troops in German, French and English all started singing Silent Night. May the beauty of Silent Night sung in its original German language bring you the power of The Prince of Peace.
