Composed by Music by Franz Gruber, Words by Joseph Mohr (v. 4 by Doug Howell). Arranged by Doug Howell. Christian,Christmas,Pop,Sacred,Spiritual. Score. 8 pages. Creative Measures #4982757. Published by Creative Measures (A0.896319).

For me-like many of you, I’m sure-this is my very favorite Christmas carol. And under normal circumstances it is probably the one that I’d least want to meddle with, as it is so simply sacred, just as it is. But for me this project began to mean a lot more than just "meddling." I lay awake several nights in a row, imagining the holy scene, and myself standing there. What would I have felt, and done? What was my response to the babe in the manger? What could I possibly have to say? What does his birth mean for me?

If I was to add a verse, I‘d want it to show exactly what this divine, eternal, world-changing, incarnational event, and the yearly commemoration of it, have meant in my own life. And not just in the past. If it’s an eternal event, it has to mean something now, too, in the middle of this world I live in, all fractured and selfish and racist, lie-ridden and poverty-stricken. This world I helped create. Is there hope for this world as well as that world long ago?

As you celebrate Jesus’ birth this year, take a moment to consider: If you added a verse to "Silent Night," what would yours say?
