Gentle Night lyrics

Gentle night, starred skies, softly list while the mother sighs.

Stone and straw must cradle be. There lies thronéd all majesty;

There lies thron'ed all majesty.

Angels' song rings above, born the Son of the Father's love.

Helpless Child in warrior's stead, King of kings in a manger bed;

King of kings in a manger bed.

Shepherds watch 'neath the trees; cry of lambs on a quiet breeze.

Then God's glory from on high; Come, rejoice for your Savior's nigh;

Come, rejoice, for your Savior's nigh.

Son of love, Son of life, come to carry our sin and strife.

Sleep on baby and fare thee well; all our hape and Emanuel,

All our hope and Emanuel.
