"Silent Night" (German: "Stille Nacht") is a popular Christmas carol. The original lyrics, "Stille Nacht", were written in Oberndorf bei Salzburg, Austria by priest Father Joseph Mohr, and the melody was composed by the Austrian headmaster Franz Xaver Gruber.

This song is featured in various Disney music media, including Silent Night and Other Christmas Carols with the All Mouse Choir.

An instrumental version plays during the ending scene of Old Yeller as well as during the part where Black Beauty spends her last moments with Ginger in Black Beauty.

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!

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!
