Silent Night (A Strangers Account) Lyrics

Hope seemed lost on the earth

Israel was subject to every cruelty man had to offer in those days

The Roman's stood on the graves of tradition and brave men

Faith waned and hatred thickened amongst even the most pure of hearts

Meanwhile, a woman in a rather small village was seeking a place to give birth to her child

(Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace)

No inn could she find with the help of her husband

The two were desperate for shelter and that was when they came across a kind Sheppard who lead them to a small wooden hut

There they were greeted by sheep, calf, a fully lit menorah and that of one golden pineapple

(Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born)

A boy had come forth into this world, and glory surrounded him in the manager where he so peacefully laid

Drums and trumpets sounded in the distance

Stars did flash and the earth did sing for some new life had been brought forth to mankind

Hear O Israel, for Abraham's line has just taken root

Blessed, blessed are those who come after

(Jesus Lord at thy birth, Jesus Lord at thy birth)
