about

I was told a story about grandfather. Before he passed away he was in the final stages of Alzheimer's and in care home. The nurses would report that late at night when the anxiety was too much to bear my grandfather would leave his room and walk the halls praying to God and sometimes singing Silent Night. I believe he sang the song as prayer. Whitney and I recently came back home from burying my grandfather and decided to record the song the comforted my grandfather so much. We wanted to share this with you and help you find peace if peace is what you need.

lyrics

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.

Silent night, holy night, wondrous star, lend thy light;
With the angels let us sing,
Alleluia to our King.
Christ the Saviour is born,
Christ the Saviour is born.
