The chaos of doing without the beautiful organ to being relegated to the use of their old guitar. So many circumstances could have caused the delay in singing Silent Night. The greatest spiritual lessons really do not come from the birth and the background of Christ. It is a meditation filled with peace and serenity about the entrance of Christ into the world. It is a song, unlike most Christmas carols, that has special meaning in the life of just about every person who has heard or sung it.
Silent night is more than just a hymn.
Whoever listens to it, wherever it is played, one point is definite. Silent Night brings Christ into everyone's heart. When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds . . . went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the child lying in the manger. Holy Infant so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace. Shepherds quake at the sight.
