The census required them to travel to his birthplace. Joseph took Mary to Bethlehem and there was no room in the Inn. Martina McBride Silent Night combines the rich lyrics and a beautiful voice.

I have always loved this hymn and memories of the entire congregation singing it as the clock strikes midnight on Christmas Day while aglow in Candlelight is nothing to the Heavenly Host that was praising God! Glory to God and on earth peace among men in whom he is well pleased!

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
Glory streams from Heaven afar
Heavenly Hosts, sing Alleluia

Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born

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
Sleep in Heavenly peace
