Franz Gruber – Silent Night lyrics
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 Al-le-lu-ia!
Christ the Saviour is born!
Christ the Saviour is born!

Silent night, holy night!
Wondrous star, lend thy light!
With the angels let us sing
Alleluia to our King!
Christ the Saviour is here,
Jesus the Saviour is here!

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.

    In the last verse, It says "Son of God, love's pure light". For many years I thought this simply meant that the Son of God loved pure light but that doesn't explain the comma and the apostrophe. I think the lyricist, Franz Gruber, was saying that Jesus is the "pure light" of "love". "Love's Pure Light" could be another name for Jesus.
