Softly The Night Is Sleeping Lyrics

1. Softly the night is sleeping,
On Behlehem's peaceful hill
Silent the shepherds watching,
The gentle flocks are still;
But hark! The wondrous music
Falls from the op'ning sky
Valley and cliff reecho
Glory to God on high!

[Chorus]
Glory to God it rings again,
Peace on earth, good will to men,
Good will, good will to men.

2. Come with the gladsome shepherds,
Quick hast'ning from the fold,
Come with the wise men bringing
Incense and myrrh and gold;
Come to Him poor and lowly,
Around the cradle throng,
Come with your hearts of sunshine,
And sing the angels' song. [Chorus]

3. Weave ye the wreath unfading,
The fir tree and the pine,
Green from the snows of winter,
To deck the holy shrine;
Bring ye the happy children,
For this is Christmas morn:
Jesus the sinless infant,
Jesus the Lord is born. [Chorus]
