Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace.”

All they had was a guitar that was being played by the big sister, Lennon. And of course, their beautiful voices. Without a doubt, they sang this holy song exquisitely.

They harmonize so flawlessly that their voices will give you goosebumps. As for me, I could listen to them all day. It’s just so perfect to hear great singers singing a classic song.
Here’s the story behind this amazing song Silent Night.
In 1816, a young priest named Joseph Mohr wrote a marvelous poem. According to its story, the organ in St Nicholas Church, Oberndorf bei Salzburg in Austria was not in good condition and needed repairs.
His poem turned into a song with the help of a then schoolmaster and organist in a nearby town, who was Franz Xaver Gruber. One night during Christmas Mass 1818, Mohr played the guitar with two men singing the song along with a choir.
The song is as beautiful as how it was created.
