Silent Night may be one of the most recorded Christmas Songs in the history of recorded music, so you can imagine how one version might start sounding like every other one after a while. However, Sara McLachlan's version below is so refreshingly pure of sound I listened to it five times before pulling myself away to move on to find more songs for your listening pleasure. Consider this my Christmas Gift to you - Merry Christmas!
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
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born
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
