                Holy Infant, so tender and mild,

Sleep in heavenly peace,

Silent night, holy night,

Shepherds quake at the sight

Glories stream from heaven afar

Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!

Christ the Savior is born

Christ the Savior is born!

Silent night,holy night,

Son of God,love’s pure light;

Radiant beamsfrom Thy holy face

With the dawn of redeeming grace,

Jesus Lord,at Thy birth,

Jesus Lord at Thy birth.

Silent night,holy night

Wondrous star,lend thy light,

With the angels let us sing,

Allelluia to our King;

Christ the Savior is born

Christ the Savior is born!

Вед.1: The history of the carol Silent Night is quite contradictory. The traditional story is that Josef Mohr, an Austrian priest and his friend Franz Xavier Gruber wrote it in 1816 in Oberndorf, Austria, on Christmas Eve when they discovered the church organ was broken. The music to Silent Night was therefore intended for a guitar. However, recent evidence indicates this may be only folklore. An old manuscript has reportedly been discovered that shows Franz X. Gruber wrote the score 2-4 years after Mohr had written the lyrics. The song was translated from German into English in 1863 by John Freeman Young, an American Bishop. Whatever the truth, this Christmas carol has been a favourite worldwide for almost 200 years.

Вед. 2: Silent Night is the most popular Christmas carol around the world. It is the song that stopped a war. On Christmas Eve during World War I, German soldiers held up Christmas trees lit with candles in the trenches and began singing Silent Night: “Stille nacht, heilige nacht.” Soon the British soldiers joined them in the singing of this beautiful song. The soldiers from both sides left the trenches and met in the middle  and some of them even exchanged gifts. The fighting stopped and there was “peace on Earth” for that one night in history.

Вед.1: Thant you for attention and let’s finish our meeting with the other most popular Christmas carol. We began with it.

                We wish you a merry Christmas

                We wish you a merry Christmas

                We wish you a merry Christmas

                And Happy New Year!

        Good tidings we bring

        To you and your kin;

                We wish you a merry Christmas

                And Happy New Year!

        We all want some figgy pudding

        We all want some figgy pudding

        We all want some figgy pudding

        So send some out here!

        And we won’t go until we’ve got some,

        We won’t go until we’ve got some

        We won’t go until we’ve got some

        So send out some here!
