Looking for christmas carols texst? Go to Christmas lyrics
Even if you are neither religious nor a regular churchgoer, you will surely remember fond childhood memories after hearing Christmas carols.
The world’s most widely known Xmas carol is ”Silent Night”, which is sung in many languages all over most of the globe. The song originates from Austria, but enjoyed great recognition as early as the First World War, when soldiers on each side of the frontline laid down their weapons on Christmas Eve and sung the carol, “Silent Night”, across no man’s land.
The lyrics go like this:
'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.
Searching through a list of popular Christmas carols, we also find ”O Come, All Ye Faithful”. The song is said to have a very long history, but the truth is, it most likely originated from the 1700’s and was written by John Francis Wade (1711 – 1786). The most popular version dates back to 1852 and goes like this:
'O Come, All Ye Faithful'
O come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem;
Come and behold him
Born the king of angels:
O come let us adore him, Christ the Lord.
