The lyrics to Silent Night were written by Josef Mohr. He was born in Salzburg, Austria in 1791. The name “Mohr” was unloved in his home town of Salzburg. Mohr was one of three illegitimate sons born to Anna Schoiberin, while his father, Franz, was a mercenary soldier who eventually abandoned the family. To make matters worse, Josef’s godfather was the town executioner.
Perhaps due to his mother’s poverty, the curate of the local Catholic cathedral took Josef in as a foster child. Josef had a natural gift for music, which was encouraged by the church. Mohr decided to pursue the priesthood and was ordained August 21, 1815. He was sent to Oberndorf, just north of Salzburg, to serve as assistant priest at the newly-erect Church of St. Nicholas. The town of Oberndorf sat high in the Alps. There, Mohr met Franz Xaver Gruber, a local schoolteacher, who would become the organist at the church the following year.
Gruber came from equally humble origins, and himself took comfort in his music. The friendship of the two is what led to the creation of Silent Night.
Silent Night—or Stille Nacht in the original German—was created because Mohr needed a carol for worship. He and Gruber had often discussed the fact that the perfect Christmas hymn had never been written. On Christmas Eve of 1818, Mohr visited Gruber with a poem he had written a few years earlier. Gruber exclaimed, “Friend, Mohr, you have found it—the right song—God be praised!” Gruber quickly composed a simple tune to be played on a guitar with a choir because the church organ was broken. That evening at Midnight Mass, Gruber picked up his guitar and led the congregation in the first rendition of Silent Night.

LYRICS:
Silver and gold, silver and gold, oh
I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold
No fame or fortune, nor riches untold
Oh, I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold

Don't give me a mansion on top of the hill
Don't give me the world with a shallow thrill
But just give me a Savior, my life He can hold
I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold

Woke up this morning, feeling kind of down
I called on my best friend, she could not be found
But I called on Jesus, my life He can hold
I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold

Silver and gold (silver and gold) oh
(Silver and gold, oh)
I'd rather have Jesus (I'd rather have Jesus)
Silver (than silver and gold)

No fame or fortune (no fame or fortune)
Nor riches (nor riches untold)
I'd rather (I'd rather have Jesus)

For unto us a Child is born, a Son is given
(I'd rather have Jesus)
You see what profits a man to gain
The whole wide world and lose his soul

(I'd rather have Jesus)
In the midnight hour when my body is rocking with pain
I'd rather have Jesus (I'd rather have Jesus)
I'd rather have Jesus, the Son of Man, the King of kings

(I'd rather have Jesus)
Than silver (than silver and gold)
I'd rather have Jesus, I don't need a fancy car
I don't even have to have a diamond ring

Hey, but give me Jesus in the midnight hour
When all of my money is gone
I can call on Jesus, hey
And I know He'll answer, I know He'll answer

He's the only One that can save your soul
He can make you whole, He can be there for you
Hey

I'd rather have Jesus
I'd rather have Jesus
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
I'd rather have Jesus, I don't need nobody

Yeah-hey, hey, hey, yeah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hey, He's the only One to save you

Several periodicals and interviews cite writer Jay Livingston stating that the song's inspiration came from the bells used by sidewalk Santa Clauses and Salvation Army solicitors on New York City street corners. However, co-writer Ray Evans said that the song was inspired by a bell that sat on an office desk that he shared with Livingston

LYRICS:
City sidewalk, busy side walks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air, there's a feeling of Christmas

Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you'll hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmastime in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day

City street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home
With their treasures

Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle you will hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmastime in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day

LYRICS:
Little yellow house sittin' on a hill
That is where he lived
That is where he died
Every Sunday morning
Hear the weeping willows cry

Two children born
A beautiful wife
Four walls and livin's all he needed in life
Always giving, never asking back
I wish I had a simple love like that

I want a simple love like that
Always giving, never askin' back
For when I'm in my final hour lookin' back
I hope I had a simple love like that

My momma was his only little girl
If he'd had the money he'd have given her the world
Sittin' on the front porch together they would sing
Oh how I long to hear that harmony

I want a simple love like that
Always giving never asking back
When I'm in my final hour looking back
I hope I had a simple love like that
I want a simple love like that
Always giving never asking back
When I'm in my final hour looking back
I hope I had a simple love like that

LYRICS:
Keep on keeping on believing
You've never given me a reason to drop my faith
And I won't leave you
Just for the sake of leaving
'Cause I got every reason to stay

It's a good little time to settle down my world
But You took a hold of me
And then I told You
I promise to stand for You
But You gotta tell me what's it gonna be
Yeah, yeah

I'm just a simple man
A little part of a bigger plan
Anything that gives me worth, God, it's You
So take the rest of me
'Cause You got the best of me
Anything good in me comes from You, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah

Guide me, all of me hides in You
Oh, God, my home is Your hands
But when You send me, into the world You send me
Now I gotta tell the truth to everyone that I can
Yeah, yeah

I'm just a simple man
A little part of a bigger plan
Anything that gives me worth, God, it's You
It's You, You
So take the rest of me
'Cause You got the best of me
Anything good in me comes from You, You

I'm just a simple man
A little part of a bigger plan
Anything that gives me worth, God, it's You, You, You
So take the rest of me
'Cause You got the best of me
Anything good in me comes from You

I say, anything that gives me worth, God, It's You
Oh-oh
Keep on, keeping on believing

LYRICS:
There has been a time
When the rains did fall
I could see the clouds
As they started to form

Chorus
I have lived my life as a simple man
Should my heart not make a sound
I've even tried to please the other man
Storing riches for my own

I have seen the fire
I have felt the flames
It seemed warm for a while
Then it started to burn

- Chorus -

LYRICS:
[Intro]
Was at the end of my rope, had nowhere to go
Was at the end of my rope, I had nothing to show
Until the day I turned to You, was at the end of my

[What?]
[You talking to me?]
[You talking to me?]
[You call me crazy] - [4X]

You call me crazy, man you make my day
My state of residence was disarray
At every party and as far as anybody knew - everything was cool, but
The truth was bottled up inside of me
I was as lonely as a man could be
And my 200 friends couldn't fill the void in my soul
It was a giant hole

Nothing made any sense
I thought there would never be an end
Then love came knocking at my door

[Chorus]
Since I met You I've been alright
You turn all my darkness into light
Since I met You I've been okay, I've been alright
[Ya know I've been alright]
Since I met You I've been okay
You're rolling my winter into may
And since I met You I've been alright
I've been okay [since I met you]
I've been okay [since I met you]

You got me feeling like a million bucks
Some people write it OFF as Irish luck
But I know better, cause my rabbit's foot never did me a bit of good
The truth hit me like a sock in the eye
A revelation that I can't deny
Your love has overtaken every little part of me
You were what I needed

I'm carried away
Never seen the sunshine like today
You made something of my life

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Was at the end of my rope
I had no where to go, go
Was at the end of my rope
I had nothing to show
Until the day that I turned to you
Was at the end of my rope
I had nowhere to go, go, go
Was at the end of my rope
I had nothing to show
Until the day that I turned to you
Was at the end of my rope
[Yeah, that's right, I'm talkin' to you]
Sick and tired [4X]

Sick and tired of the same ol' fluff
You came along and You shook me up
You got me tripping on a vision of eternity
I can see it clearly

[Chorus]

Was at the end of my rope
[With nowhere to go]
I had nowhere to go, go
[Nowhere to go]
Was at the end of my rope
[With nothing to show]
Had nowhere to go, go, go
[I had nowhere to go]
Was at the end [I had nowhere to go] [come on] of my rope
[I had nowhere to go] [come on]
Was at the end [nowhere to go] [come on] of my rope
[I had nowhere to go] Was at the end then I met you
