This song wouldn’t be what it is without Norm Bagley, a local resident of Ogden, Utah. In fact, it’s more his song than it is mine. He originally created this rendition in December 2004. For the 2009 "25 Days of Christmas Music" project, he made new recordings of the vocals and guitar, and sent it to me to add some piano to it. The purpose of the new rendition was meant to help create a unique sound and feel, while re-emphasizing the important role of our King and Savior. He came into the world as humbly and meekly as they come, yet His 33 short years on this earth were spent serving others, healing the sick, lifting the wounded souls, teaching people how to be better, to love and serve others (John 13:34; 15:13).
Vocals and Guitar: Norm Bagley
Piano: Justin K. Reeve
lyrics
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
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born
A tiny baby, the Son of God.
He came into the world,
that He might save us all.
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
A tiny baby, the Son of God.
What can I give to Him?
As I look into His eyes,
they tell me to believe in Him,
Go forth and share his light.
A King is born, upon the earth
He’s come to save us, and lead us home.
My name is Justin Reeve. I’ve been playing the piano for over 30 years. I love performing in the community now and then, but
I especially love it when the Christmas season comes around. Playing Christmas music is one of my favorite things to do.
I’ve tried to compose a few Christmas songs every year, as well as some sacred music. I hope you enjoy the songs as much as I loved coming up with them....more
