John Denver - Silent Night

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht

Alles schläft, einsam wacht

Nur das träute hochheilige Paar

Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar

Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!

Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!

[Spoken:]

On December 24th, 1818, the curate of a parish in Oberndorf, Austria, Joseph Mohr, gave a poem that he had written to a friend of his, Franz Gruber, who was also the choirmaster and organist in that church.

He asked Mr. Gruber if he would write music for his poem, and that he might write it for two solo voices and guitar accompaniment; because, the organ being broken, he desperately wanted music to be part of their Christmas Eve service.

Mr. Gruber wrote the melody to a song which has become the most beloved of all Christmas carols: "Stille Nacht"; in English, "Silent Night."

Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh; Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night (silent night),

Holy night (holy night),

All is calm (all is calm),

All is bright (all is bright),

Round yon Virgin mother and child

Holy infant, so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace

Sleep in heavenly peace

[Spoken:]

Fozzie: Merry Christmas, everybody.

Gonzo: Yeah, Merry Christmas.

Scooter: Merry Christmas.

Rowlf: Merry Christmas.

Robin: Merry Christmas, Uncle Kermit.

Kermit: Oh, thanks, Robin. Merry Christmas, Piggy.

Miss Piggy: Merry Christmas, Kermie. Merry Christmas, Jonathan.

John: Merry Christmas, you guys.
