Love's Pure Light
Music by Elaine Hagenberg
Silent night! Holy night!
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and Child!
Holy Infant, so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night! Holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight!
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Savior, is born!
Story Behind the Song
“Love’s Pure Light” is a modern Christmas choral anthem by American composer Elaine Hagenberg. Its title alludes to the familiar line “Son of God, love’s pure light” from “Silent Night,” but it is published and performed as a contemporary choral work rather than as a standard congregational hymn. Detailed text-credit and publication-date information should be verified from the score or publisher catalog.
