One of the most favorite Christmas songs and undoubtedly the most popular Christmas carol is the Silent Night, written in 1816 by an Austrian priest Joseph Mohr.
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
And who doesn’t know this one? From the tiniest kid to the oldest living soul, this Christmas score has been deeply etched in the hearts of thousands across the world, irrespective of race and ethnicities. Here comes Jingle Bells to sweep you off your feet. But hey, you must note this interesting fact here-the Jingle Bells song had originally been written for Thanksgiving, and not for Christmas. James Pierpoint, the author and composer of this Christmas song, had composed it for the children at a Boston Sunday School Thanksgiving. But it became so popular that it continued to be sung during Christmas and now, Jingle Bells stirs up images of the jolly old Santa Claus riding his way to the children. The sound of Christmas bells jingling and the melody of the song speak more of Christmas than of Thanksgiving. Check it out.
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight
**Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot
