Peaceful the Wondrous Night

Peaceful the won­drous night

Peaceful and ho­ly

Under the sil­ve­ry light

Gleaming afar.

Faithfully watch­ing there

Shepherds so low­ly

Over the hills so fair

Saw glo­ry’s star.

Hail to the star­ry night

Sparkling with glo­ry;

Angels on wings of light

Thronging the sky.

Hail to that star­ry night!

Wondrous its sto­ry:

Jesus the Prince of Light

Came from above.

Come with that shep­herd band

Come to the man­ger;

Join in the chor­us grand

Glory to God!

Worship the ho­ly Child

Wonderful Strang­er

Give to the Un­de­filed

Glory and laud.

Sweet favor

thus to bow

Love’s trea­sure bring­ing

Gratefully yield­ing now

Life’s joy­ful praise.

Hear from the heav’n­ly height

Glad ech­oes ring­ing

Blessing and pow­er and might

Through end­less days.
