The 24th Day of Advent

Still, Still, Still (arr. Mark Hayes)

Still, Still, Still is an Austrian Christmas carol and lullaby originating from Salzburg. The lyrics remark on the King and Saviour – who rules nations and to whom all glory and honor and dominion is due – being a babe who waits on His earthly mother to tend to Him and aid Him.

Still, still, still.
The night is cold and chill!
The virgin’s tender arms enfolding,
Warm and safe the Christ child holding.
Still, still, still,
The night is cold and chill.

Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf.
Mein liebes Kindlein, schlaf.
Die Engel tun schön musizieren,
Bei dem Kindlein jubilieren,
Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf,
Mein liebes Kindlein, schlaf!

Dream, dream, dream.
He sleeps, the Savior King.
While guardian angels watch beside Him,
Mary tenderly will guide Him.
Dream, dream, dream.
He sleeps, the Savior King.
