Night in Silence

Night in si­lence deep and ho­ly

Broods o’er an­cient Beth­le­hem;

Shepherds in their sta­tion low­ly

Faintly hear the star­ry hymn

Sounding forth cre­ation’s sto­ry

Where the sons of God sang glo­ry.

Glory in the high­est

glo­ry

Peace on earth

good will to men.

Hark a chor­us grand

From that shin­ing land

Glory in the high­est

glo­ry

Peace on earth

good will to men.

Earth is wrapped in si­lent slum­ber;

Souls lie prone in deep­er night;

Nearer

near­er

with­out num­ber

Come the her­alds

robed in light.

Now cre­ation’s hymn is blend­ing

With re­demp­tion’s joy un­end­ing.

Glory in the high­est

glo­ry

Peace on earth

good will to men.

Night in si­lence deep and ho­ly

We thy bless­èd mys­te­ry share;

Savior

at Thy man­ger low­ly

Bow our souls in hum­ble pray­er.

Waiting for th’eter­nal morn­ing

We

with saints and an­gels join­ing

Glory in the high­est

glo­ry

Peace on earth

good will to men.
