Season's Greetings from Perry Como ~ 1959
 
Silent Night ~ 1959 Version
 
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!
 
Words and Music by Joseph Mohr
and Franz Gruber
 
  The Shepherds hurry to the manger, fall on their knees before the baby, and they worship him! For He is Christ the Lord!
