"Silent Night" is a Christmas carol written by Father Joseph Mohr in 1816 and composed by Franz Xaver Gruber in 1818.

The English version that is found in most hymnbooks contains 3 stanzas.

However, the original German version, that was penned by Father Mohr and which contains mostly different lyrics from the English translation, consists of 6 stanzas.
