The poem describes the Christmas story and the night Jesus was born. It tells of how it was a silent and bright night, with the virgin Mary, mother and child. The infant Jesus was tender and mild, sleeping in heavenly peace. Shepherds were in awe at the sight of glory streaming from heaven above, as the heavenly hosts sang of Christ's birth as savior.
