"... Tawel nos dros y byd,
Sanctaidd nos gylch y crud;
Gwylion dirion yr oedd addfwyn ddau,
Faban Duw gyda'r llygaid bach cau,
Iesu T'wysog ein hedd ..."


Before reading (Matt 2, v 1-12) at Crane Street Baptist Church's carol service this afternoon, I had the privilege of hear Caitin-Beth play her harp & sing 'Silent Night / Tawel Nos'.

'Silent Night' (German: 'Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht') is a popular Christmas carol, composed in 1818 by Franz Xaver Gruber to lyrics by Joseph Mohr in the small town of Oberndorf bei Salzburg, Austria. It was declared an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in March 2011.
