"Stille Nacht" was first performed on Christmas Eve 1818 at St Nicholas parish church in Oberndorf, a village in the Austrian Empire on the Salzach river in present-day Austria. A young Catholic priest, Father Joseph Mohr, had come to Oberndorf the year before. In the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, he had written the poem "Stille Nacht" in 1816 at Mariapfarr, the hometown of his father in the Salzburg Lungau region, where Joseph had worked as an assistant priest.

The melody was composed by Franz Xaver Gruber, schoolmaster and organist in the nearby village of Arnsdorf , now part of Lamprechtshausen. On Christmas Eve 1818, Mohr brought the words to Gruber and asked him to compose a melody and guitar accompaniment for that night's mass, after river flooding had possibly damaged the church organ. The church was eventually destroyed by repeated flooding and replaced with the Silent-Night-Chapel.

Lyrics:
Stille nag, heilige nag
Jesus kind lank verwag
Lig uit lig uit die Vader se ryk
word uit liefde aan mense gelyk
Loof die hemelse Kind !
Loof die hemelse Kind !

Stille nag, heilige nag
Hemelvors, ons gee ag
op die lied van die engelekoor
Herders het dit die eerste gehoor
Juig, die Redder is daar !
Juig, die Redder is daar !

Stille nag, heilige nag !
Jesus, Heer, voor u mag,
voor u ryk moet die duisternis swig;
tot in ewigheid bly U die lig -
Heer, gebore vir ons !
Heer, gebore vir ons !
