Silent sleep, calm and deep; Softly glitters bright Bethlehem’s star, Beckoning Israel’s eye from afar, Where the Savior is born, Where the Savior is born. 2. Silent night! hallowed night! On the plain wake the strain Sung by heavenly harbingers bright, Fraught with tidings of heavenly light, Christ, the Savior, has come, Christ, the Savior, has come. 3. Silent night! hallowed night! Earth awake, silence break! High your anthems of melody raise; Sing, ye mortals, your liveliest praise, Peace forever shall reign, Peace forever shall reign.

H. R. Palmer

1834 - 1907 Composer of "[Silent night! hallow'd night!]" in Select Sunday School Songs Palmer, Horatio Richmond, MUS. DOC, was born April 26, 1834. He is the author of several works on the theory of music; and the editor of some musical editions of hymnbooks. To the latter he contributed numerous tunes, some of which have attained to great popularity, and 5 of which are in I. D. Sankey's Sacred Songs and Solos, London, 1881. His publications include Songs of Love for the Bible School; and Book of Anthems, the combined sale of which has exceeded one million copies. As a hymnwriter he is known by his "Yield not to temptation," which was written in 1868, and published in the National Sunday School Teachers' Magazine, from which it passed, with music by the author, into his Songs of Love, &c, 1874, and other collections. In America its use is extensive. Dr. Palmer's degree was conferred by the University of Chicago in 1880. -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) =============== Palmer, H. R., p. 877, i.
