Silent Night expresses the wonder of the light Christ brought at his incarnation, which was announced
by angels to shepherds, and inspired wise men to follow a star and find the incarnate king. Early English
translations differ from the familiar words we sing:
Holy night! Peaceful night!
Through the darkness beams a light
Yonder, where they sweet vigils keep
Oer the babe, who, in silent sleep,
Rests in heavenly peace.

Wagrainhe was penniless. For years he had given almost everything he earned to charities, among
which was a school he had started for poor children.
