One of the members of one of the churches I pastor went to be with with the Lord suddenly and unexpectedly yesterday. He once sang the first verse of Silent Night in church in Pa Dutch. I do not remember it as the German pronunciations I had heard previously. Would anyone be able to share a ‘phonic’ representation of this for me? I would like to remember in sharing at the service of life and resurrection Friday Mar 7, 2008.
If anyone can help Pastor Lowe, please comment below.
Thanks in advance.
