Sisters Lucy and Martha Thomas delivered a stunning duet of the beloved Christmas hymn “Silent Night.” The two young women demonstrated their immense musical gifts and abilities with their lovely performance of the classic. Check out the video to watch and listen to their dazzling rendition.
Christmas is a season with no shortage of tunes. There is bound to be a Christmas-themed song for every taste and preference. Santa, Frosty and Rudolph all get their time to shine, and many tracks are dedicated to them and their Christmastime adventures.
While those secular songs are fun and enjoyable, other more classic, religious Christmas songs help put the focus on the real meaning and cause for the celebration: the birth of Jesus Christ. Christmas is a meaningless and empty exercise without celebrating and honoring Christ's arrival on Earth. One of those songs that best captures the significance and importance of Christ’s birth for all humanity is “Silent Night.”
In a clip posted on YouTube, the Thomas sisters perform a charming rendition of that timeless tune about the evening Jesus Christ entered the world. Yes, it may be a song we’ve all heard hundreds, possibly thousands of times, but that does not diminish the lyrics' beauty and meaning.
“Silent night! Holy night!
All is calm, all is bright
‘Round yon virgin mother and child!
Holy infant, so tender and mild”
Christmas is a wonderful but typically busy time of year. People are often rushing to pick up an extra gift, hurrying to wrap presents or hustling over to yet another Christmas party. However, whatever we do during Christmas, let us remember the real reason for all the gatherings, meals and gifts.
Christmas is a celebration of when Jesus Christ, the greatest gift ever given, entered the world, which the two talented singers so beautifully sang about.
Luke 2:7 “And she had her first son; and folding him in linen, she put him to rest in the place where the cattle had their food, because there was no room for them in the house.”
