\nSILENT NIGHT, HOLY NIGHT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

by\nJoseph Mohr and Franz Gruber<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joseph Mohr was\nborn in Salzburg on 11 December 1792, to an unmarried embroiderer,\nAnna Schoiberin, and Franz Mohr, a mercenary soldier and deserter,\nwho abandoned Joseph’s mother before the birth. At his baptism\nshortly after birth, as the parents were unmarried, Joseph received\nthe name of his father, according to custom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johann Nepomuk\nHiernle, vicar and leader of music at Salzburg Cathedral, enabled\nMohr to have an education and encouraged him in music. As a boy, Mohr\nwould serve simultaneously as a singer and violinist in the choirs of\nthe University Church and at the Benedictine monastery church of St.\nPeter. From 1808 to 1810, Mohr studied at the Benedictine monastery\nof Kremsm\u00fcnster in the province of Upper Austria. He then returned\nto Salzburg to attend the Lyceum school, and in 1811, he entered the\nseminary. Since he was of illegitimate birth, a special dispensation\nwas required in those days for him to attend seminary. On 21 August\n1815, Mohr graduated and was ordained as a priest in the Austrian\nRoman Catholic Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nIn the fall of 1815, Mohr was asked to provide temporary help in the\nvillage of Ramsau near Berchtesgaden. Mohr then served as assistant\npriest in Mariapfarr (1815-1817). It was during this time, in 1816,\nthat he penned the words to “Silent Night” in Mariapfarr.\nPoor health forced him to return to Salzburg in the summer of 1817.\nAfter a short recuperation he began serving as an assistant priest at\nSt. Nicholas in Oberndorf, where he made the acquaintance of Franz\nGruber, schoolteacher in neighbouring Arnsdorf. The town and church\nwas often subject to flooding from the Salzach river. Flooding before\nChristmas had damaged the organ in the church in Oberndorf making it\nunusable for the Christmas Eve midnight Mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So on a cold\nChristmas Eve in 1818, Mohr walked the two miles from his home in\nOberndorf bei Salzburg to visit his friend Franz Gruber in the\nneighbouring town of Arnsdorf. Mohr brought with him the poem he had\nwritten some two years earlier. The Christmas Eve midnight Mass was\nonly a few hours away, and Mohr hoped his friend, a school teacher\nwho also served as the church’s choir master and organist, could set\nhis poem to music. Gruber composed the melody for Mohr’s “Stille\nNacht” in just a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song was sung\nat Midnight Mass in a simple arrangement for guitar and choir. This\nyear marks the 200th anniversary of the creation of this Christmas\nCarol. Various legends have sprung up over the years concerning the\ngenesis of “Silent Night”, but the simplest and likeliest\nexplanation seems to have been that Mohr simply wanted an original\nsong that he could play on his favourite instrument, the guitar.\nWithin a few years, arrangements of the carol appeared in churches in\nthe Salzburg Archdiocese and folk singers from the Ziller Valley were\ntaking the composition on tours around Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nMohr, a generous man who donated most of his salary to charity, was\nmoved from place to place, and remained in Oberndorf only until 1819.\nAfter Oberndorf he was sent to Kuchl, followed by stays in Golling an\nder Salzach, Bad Vigaun, Adnet and Anthering. In 1827 he was made\npastor of Hintersee, and in 1837 of the Alpine village of Wagrain.\nHere he created a fund to allow children from poor families to attend\nschool and set up a system for the care of the elderly. Mohr died of\npulmonary disease on 4 December 1848, at the age of 55. Mohr\nobviously never forgot his humble and difficult origins, doing all he\ncould throughout his life to help those who were living in poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Austria, Stille\nNacht<\/em> is considered a national treasure. Traditionally, the song\nmay not be played publicly before Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years,\nbecause the original manuscript had been lost, Mohr’s name was\nforgotten and although Gruber was known to be the composer, many\npeople assumed the melody was originally composed by a famous\ncomposer, and it was variously attributed to Haydn, Mozart, or\nBeethoven. However, a manuscript was discovered in 1995 in Mohr’s\nhandwriting and dated by researchers as c.\u20091820. It states that\nMohr wrote the words in 1816 when he was assigned to a pilgrim church\nin Mariapfarr, Austria, and shows that the music was composed by\nGruber in 1818. This is the earliest manuscript that exists and the\nonly one in Mohr’s handwriting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nIn 1859, the Episcopal priest John Freeman Young, then serving at\nTrinity Church, New York City, wrote and published the English\ntranslation that is most frequently sung today, translated from three\nof Mohr’s original six verses.[8] The version of the melody that is\ngenerally used today is a slow, meditative lullaby or pastorale,\ndiffering slightly (particularly in the final strain) from Gruber’s\noriginal. Today, the lyrics and melody are in the public domain,\nalthough newer translations usually are not. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1997 the Silent\nNight Museum (Saltzburg, Austria), commissioned a new English\ntranslation by Bettina Klein of Mohr’s German lyrics. This is the\ntranslation on the bulletin insert. Whenever possible, (and mostly),\nKlein leaves the Young translation unchanged, but occasionally Klein\n(and Mohr) varies markedly. For example, “Nur das traute hoch\nheilige Paar, Holder Knab’ im lockigen Haar<\/em>” is translated\nby Young: “Round yon Virgin mother and child, Holy infant so\ntender and mild” where as Klein rewords it: “Round yon\ngodly tender pair, Holy infant with curly hair,” a translation\ncloser to the original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The carol has been\ntranslated into about 140 languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Much of the above\ncopied from two Wikipedia articles.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mohr’s poem\nfocuses exclusively on that night that God’s Son, Jesus, entered into\nhuman sight through the womb of the virgin Mary. We will look briefly\nat all six verses of Mohr’s message in poetry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.\nSilent night! Holy night!
\nAll’s asleep, one sole light,
\nJust\nthe faithful and holy pair,
\nLovely boy-child with curly\nhair
\nSleep in heavenly peace!
\nSleep in heavenly peace!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.\nSilent night! Holy night!
\nGod’s Son laughs, o how bright.
\nLove\nfrom your holy lips shines clear,
\nAs the dawn of salvation draws\nnear,
\nJesus, Lord, with your birth!
\nJesus, Lord, with your\nbirth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.\nSilent night! Holy night!
\nBrought the world peace tonight,
\nFrom\nthe heavens’ golden height
\nShows the grace of His holy\nmight
\nJesus, as man on this earth!
\nJesus, as man on this\nearth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.\nSilent night! Holy night!
\nWhere today all the might
\nOf His\nfatherly love us graced
\nAnd then Jesus, as brother embraced.
\nAll\nthe peoples on earth!
\nAll the peoples on earth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.\nSilent night! Holy night!
\nLong we hoped that He might,
\nAs\nour Lord, free us of wrath,
\nSince times of our fathers He\nhath
\nPromised to spare all mankind!
\nPromised to spare all\nmankind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.\nSilent night! Holy night!
\nShepherds\nfirst see the sight.
\nTold by angelic Alleluja,
\nSounding\neverywhere, both near & far
\nChrist the Savior is\nhere!
\nChrist the Savior is here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All six verses\nbegin “Silent Night, Holy Night.” To be honest, being a\ncelibate Roman Catholic priest, I’m not sure he was qualified to\nwrite about how silent the birth of Jesus was. Because of God’s\njudgment on Eve’s fruit-bearing, women bring forth the fruit of their\nbodies with a lot of pain. “To the woman\nHe said, ‘I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain\nyou will bring forth children.'” Mary would have been no\ndifferent. Just because she was giving birth to the Messiah does not\nmean she would have been exempt from that curse. Every cry of a woman\nin labor is God’s reminder that He hates sin and sin must be judged.\nSo, through the birth, I seriously doubt the night was that silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there was\ndefinitely holiness present that night. Jesus was not conceived with\na sin nature. He was, from the moment of conception, exactly what He\nhad been from eternity and would continue to be through eternity,\nholy, undefiled, innocent. Hebrews 7:23-28\nspeaks of Jesus’ ministry as High Priest before God. Listen to what\nit says about Jesus’ sinlessness:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nformer priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers because\nthey were prevented by death from continuing, but Jesus, on the other\nhand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood permanently.\nTherefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God\nthrough Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. For\nit was fitting for us to have such a high priest, holy,\ninnocent, undefiled, separated from sinners\nand exalted above the heavens; who does not need daily, like those\nhigh priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then\nfor the sins of the people, because this He did once for all when He\noffered up Himself. For the Law appoints men as high priests who are\nweak, but the word of the oath, which came after the Law, appoints a\nSon, made perfect forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mohr went on, in\nverse 1:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All’s\nasleep, one sole light,
\nJust the faithful and holy pair,
\nLovely\nboy-child with curly hair<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am sure, after\nthe struggle of a birth, sleep would be welcome and, perhaps, sleep\ndid come. Just the faithful and holy pair? Not sure about the “just”\npart. Births in that culture were a community affair of the women. It\nwould not just be family members, either. The community’s women would\ngather to help in the birth and to celebrate the new life. Husbands?\nThey were not welcome to attend. Would they all leave afterward? On\nthat I cannot say. But we do know that the Roman Catholic doctrine of\nthe holiness of Mary is false. The only intrinsic holiness was found\nin the baby, not in Mary or Joseph. In Luke\n1:46-47 we have the beginning of Mary’s reaction to her cousin\nElizabeth’s declaration about the baby Mary was carrying. Listen as\nMary begins her song:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And\nMary said: “My soul exalts the Lord, And my spirit has rejoiced\nin God my Savior.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mary, as every\nother person on the planet except Jesus, was a sinner and needed a\nSavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Mohr’s\nstatement about Jesus is very interesting. “Lovely boy-child\nwith curly hair.” Mohr was recognizing the Jewishness of Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, it might be\nappropriate to mention here that the typical imagery of Mary and\nJoseph traveling to Bethlehem alone is most likely false. Unless\nJoseph was the only remaining member of his family, there would have\nbeen many that traveled with them. Notice what Luke wrote in Luke\n2:1-5:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now\nin those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census\nbe taken of all the inhabited earth. This was the first census taken\nwhile Quirinius was governor of Syria. And everyone was on his way to\nregister for the census, each to his own city. Joseph also went up\nfrom Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of\nDavid which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and\nfamily of David, in order to register along with Mary, who was\nengaged to him, and was with child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, though\nMary went up as a family member of Joseph’s family, Mary was a\ndescendant of David in her own right. If we understand the genealogy\nof Luke 3:23-38 as that of Mary, as it\nseems, then Mary was a descendant of David through David’s son\nNathan, while Joseph, whose genealogy is in Matthew\n1, was a descendant of David through David’s son Solomon. So\nJesus was the legal son of Joseph and the actual son of Mary apart\nfrom any human father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legally and\nbiologically, Jesus was a Jew. Mohr’s pointing this out by describing\nJesus with a typical feature of Jews, the curly hair, is a bit\nsurprising. In that culture, antisemitism was endemic. Martin Luther,\nnear the close of his life, wrote a polemic against the Jews that was\nas vicious as it could be without actually calling them to be\nslaughtered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Jesus had to\nbe a descendant of David for God to keep His word. As Gabriel said to\nMary in Luke 1:31-33:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And\nbehold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall\nname Him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the\nMost High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father\nDavid; and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His\nkingdom will have no end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus was Jewish\nand God is not done with the Jews. He has a plan for them and “the\ngifts and calling of God are without repentance.” Jesus\nwill one day reign on the throne of His ancestor, King David. On that\nthrone, Jesus will reign, not only as King of the Jews, but as King\nof Kings and Lord of Lords. He will reign as King and Lord over all\nof Creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In verse 2, Mohr\nemphasized God’s love and salvation. It does not appear to be clear\nwhose holy lips are being emphasized, God the Father’s or God the\nSon’s. But Mohr’s emphasis on the “dawn of salvation”\ndrawing near is very clear. Finally, thousands of years after the\npromise given to the serpent in Genesis 3:15,\nthe promised seed of the woman who would crush the head of our\nancient enemy Satan had arrived. Within just a few short years,\nsalvation would be accomplished for all mankind, if they would only\nplace their faith in God’s holy Son Jesus. Jesus did come to reign\nand He was truly Lord at the moment of His birth. The Magi’s question\nwas very perceptive: “Where is He who has\nbeen born King of the Jews?” He did not have kingship\nthrust upon Him. He was born king by virtue of Who He is. Mohr had it\nright. “Jesus, Lord, with your birth.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In verse 3, Mohr\nwrote that the coming of Jesus into the world that night brought\npeace. The angels spoke of God\u2019s peace to the shepherds as they\nwere out in the fields watching over the sheep in Luke\n2:10-14:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But\nthe angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring\nyou good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for\ntoday in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who\nis Christ the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby\nwrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there\nappeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God\nand saying, “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace\namong men with whom He is pleased.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Longfellow had\nwritten in his poem, \u201cThere is no peace on earth.\u201d That was\nequally true 2000 years ago. In fact, peace cannot exist where God\ndoes not have full reign. All the attempts, both nationally and\nindividually, of man to bring his own peace, to provide his own\npeace, have always been dismal failures. \u201c\u2019There\nis no peace for the wicked,\u2019 says the LORD\u201d [Isaiah\n48:22]. True peace has only come with the presence of Jesus.\nWhich is why Jesus said to the Disciples, \u201cPeace\nI leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I\ngive to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be\nfearful\u201d [John 14:27]. True\npeace only arrived with the baby in the manger. And because this\nworld is riddled with man\u2019s evil, that peace could only have come\nfrom Heaven itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Mohr wrote\nthat Grace, God\u2019s goodness undeservedly lavished upon us, came upon\nus in the person of Mary\u2019s holy child. Look at the Scriptures to\nsee how often God\u2019s grace is coupled with the presence of Jesus.\nListen to just two examples, John 1:14\nand Romans 5:15:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And\nthe Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory,\nglory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and\ntruth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But\nthe free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the\ntransgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of\nGod and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to\nthe many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Truly, as Mohr\nreminds us, grace has come upon us from Heaven in the person of\nJesus, man on this earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then in Mohr\u2019s\n4th<\/sup> verse, he wrote that the love of the Father and the\nlove of the Son graced mankind with the coming of Jesus. Paul wrote,\nin Romans 8:39, that the love of God is\nin Christ Jesus our Lord. And that love can only come to our hearts\nthrough the saving work of the Son of God. The Apostle Paul closed\nout his letter to the Ephesians with this prayer: \u201cPeace\nbe to the brethren, and love with\nfaith, from God the Father and the\nLord Jesus Christ\u201d [Ephesians 6:23].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mohr also wrote\nthat the Father graced and the Son embraced all the peoples on earth.\nGod\u2019s grace was poured out for all mankind. It continues to be\nfreely available through faith in Jesus. And Jesus did embrace all\nmankind by taking on humanity. We call this the Incarnation. Jesus\nlaid aside some of the independent exercise of His divine\nprerogatives, took on humanity, and submitted Himself to the Father\nas a man. Paul wrote of this in Philippians\n2:5-8:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have\nthis attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who,\nalthough He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with\nGod a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a\nbond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in\nappearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the\npoint of death, even death on a cross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, the author\nof Hebrews expressed the same truth this\nway, in 2:9:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But\nwe do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels,\nnamely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory\nand honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for\neveryone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then, in\nverses 14-15:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore,\nsince the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also\npartook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him\nwho had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might free those\nwho through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus\ntook on humanity to be like everyone, but without sin. Then He went\nto the cross and died for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\nwas in this way that Jesus embraced all mankind by becoming as human\nas we are, yet without the taint of sin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nverse 5 Mohr wrote of man\u2019s hunger to be free of the just wrath of\nGod. We know we are sinners, though we try to pretend that we are\nnot. We have devised all kinds of religions trying to provide our own\nrighteousness to escape God\u2019s just wrath at our sin. Yet, the truth\nis that, without the forgiveness brought by Christ\u2019s sacrifice, we\ncontinue under the wrath of God. John said it so well in John\n3:36:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\nwho believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey\nthe Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\ndo not agree with Mohr that all mankind are promised to be spared. We\nmust part with him on this stanza of his poem. Only those who believe\nin the Son have been promised eternal life. After all, isn\u2019t that\nexactly what John 3:16 states?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For\nGod so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that\nwhoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And\nthe two verses before it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As\nMoses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son\nof Man be lifted up; so that whoever believes will in Him have\neternal life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God\ndelays His just wrath at our sin in order to give us more opportunity\nto accept His free gift of salvation. But most people ignore His\ngracious offer of forgiveness in Christ Jesus. Which is why Jesus\ntold the Disciples, in Matthew 7:13-14:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter\nthrough the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad\nthat leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.\nFor the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and\nthere are few who find it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\npromise of redemption, of salvation, is available to all mankind,\nJesus died for all mankind. But forgiveness only comes to those who\nput their faith in Jesus as their Savior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nthe 6th<\/sup> and last stanza of his poem, Mohr brought us back\nto the events of that glorious night of miracles. God gave a humble\ngroup of shepherds the privilege of being the first to publicly hear\nof God\u2019s gift of a Savior. Why them? It is very likely that the\nsheep they were watching over were destined for the Temple as\nsacrifices. If so, God was graciously letting them know that the true\nsacrifice, the Lamb of God, had been born into the world. Soon, they\nwould no longer need to provide a lamb that was unblemished because\nthe Holy, Undefiled, Unblemished, Son of God would offer Himself up\nto God as man\u2019s substitute. He would die for our sins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As\na fitting close to Mohr\u2019s message in poetry, he called for this\nmessage to be sounded out both near and far, Christ the Savior is\nhere!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nis truly a message for us. God Himself has called us to be His\nambassadors to this world to sound out that Christ the Savior has\ncome and offers, through His blood, forgiveness for our sins, peace\nwith God, love for God and for each other, and the privilege of\nliving in the Grace of God for eternity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore,\nwe are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal\nthrough us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
