Posted in Its a CARNIVAL
People talk about Christmas songs and Christmas carols. Have you ever wondered what the difference is? You can read more at Wikipedia on Christmas carols and songs.
A favorite Christmas Carol of mine...
Silent Night
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,
Heavely hosts sing alleluia;
Christ the Saviour, is born!
Christ the Saviour, is born!
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.
Check out the history and see it in German and English.
When I was studying ASL a few years ago (which I need to pick up again, btw...) this was my favorite one to sing and sign. You can see it and learn it here...
You can also see it performed here.
