Still, still, still - Christmas Carol - (Cover by Marais sisters) with English lyrics - clmarais

A lively version of the charming Austrian Christmas carol, sung in english by sisters Megan Marais (right), Christy-Lyn Marais (middle) and Cara Marais (left). Lyrics below!

SONG INFORMATION:
Still, Still, Still is an Austrian Christmas carol and lullaby. In German its first line is "Still, still, still, weil's Kindlein schlafen will!" (Hush, hush, hush, for the little child wants to sleep!). The melody is a folk tune (authorship unknown) from the State of Salzburg. The tune appeared for the first time in 1865 in a folksong collection of Maria Vinzenz Süß (1802-1868), founder of the Salzburg Museum; it has changed slightly over the years but remains attributed to G. Götsch. The words, which run to six verses in German, describe the peace of the infant Jesus and his mother as they sleep. There are various English translations.

LYRICS:
Still, still, still
He has come the holy child.
With awe and wonder we behold him
Mary's loving arms enfold him.

Sleep, sleep, sleep
Oh holy son of God
While Mary your mother watches o'er you
All in heav'n and earth adore you.

Peace, peace, peace
You bring to men on earth.
Oh may we ever sing your glory
Telling to all your wondrous story.
