The Christmas Night

All the ci­ty lies in sleep­ing

O’er the sea a si­lence reigns;

Lowly shep­herds watch are keep­ing

O’er their flocks on Ju­dah’s plains.

Hark the song

the song of an­gels

News of joy and peace we glad­ly bring;

In the fa­vored ci­ty yon­der

Christ is born

is born to­day a king.

In the fa­vored ci­ty yon­der

Christ is born to­day a king.

Lo! a star­ry light is shin­ing

Music thrills the arch of night.

Shepherds on the plains re­clin­ing

Rise to greet the song and light.

In a shel­ter rude and low­ly

Shepherds find the Prince of Light;

O how beau­ti­ful and ho­ly

Was that hap­py Christ­mas night.
