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 singin' Al-le-lu-ia!
Christ the Savior is born!
Christ the Savior is born!
Be still my heart
Be still my mind
May I still see the magic of that silent night
Fill me with wonder
Keep mystery alive
May peace on earth be my song tonight
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
Be still my heart
Be still my mind
May I still see the magic of that silent night
Fill me with wonder
Keep mystery alive
May peace on earth be my song tonight
Be still my heart
Be still my mind
May I still see the magic of that silent night
Fill me with wonder
Keep mystery alive
May peace on earth be my song tonight
May peace on earth be my song tonight
"Silent Night (Be Still)" by Rend Collective is a beautiful rendition of the classic Christmas carol, "Silent Night". The song captures the essence of the original hymn while infusing it with the unique and energetic style of Rend Collective.
As I listen to this song, I am immediately drawn into a sense of peace and stillness. The opening lines, "Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright," paint a vivid picture of the peaceful scene on that first Christmas night. It reminds me of the scripture in Luke 2:14, where the angels proclaim, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased." This song invites us to enter into that peace and experience the beauty of that silent night.
But there is more to this song than just capturing the atmosphere of that night. The lyrics also speak to the longing in our hearts for stillness and peace in the midst of our busy lives. In a world filled with noise and chaos, this song reminds us to be still and find rest in the presence of God.
The chorus of the song echoes this sentiment, as it encourages us to be still in our hearts and minds. It asks God to fill us with wonder and to keep the mystery of Christmas alive in our lives. This reminds me of the scripture in Psalm 46:10, which says, "Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!" In the midst of the busyness of the Christmas season, this song reminds us to take a moment to be still and remember the true meaning of Christmas.
The bridge of the song adds another layer of depth and meaning. It proclaims, "May peace on earth be my song tonight." This line speaks to the longing for peace that is at the heart of Christmas. It reminds me of the scripture in Isaiah 9:6, which says, "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Jesus, the Prince of Peace, came to bring peace to a broken and chaotic world. This song reminds us to embrace that peace and let it be our song tonight and every night.
The combination of the timeless lyrics of "Silent Night" and the unique style of Rend Collective makes this song a truly powerful and meaningful Christmas anthem. It reminds us to be still, to find peace in the presence of God, and to let the peace of Christmas fill our hearts and minds.
In conclusion, "Silent Night (Be Still)" by Rend Collective beautifully captures the essence of the original hymn while infusing it with their own energetic and unique style. The song invites us to be still and find peace in the presence of God. It reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas and the longing for peace that is at the heart of the season. As we listen to this song, may we be filled with wonder and may peace on earth be our song tonight and every night.
