Hushed is This Night

 Hushed is this night, blessed is this night
 All is calm, all is bright
 'Round the maid so pure and her Child
 Blessed the babe is, so soft and so mild
 Sleep in God's love and peace
 Sleep in God's love and peace.

 Hushed is this night, blessed is this night
 Herds' men quake at the sight
 Light of God from on high is poured
 Hosts of heav'n all sing 'Hail to the Lord.'
 Christ the Son of God's born;
 Christ the Son of God's born.

 Hushed is this night, blessed is this night
 Son of God, love's pure light.
 Love's light streams from the child's blest face,
 With the dawn of God's love and grace,
 Christ, my Lord, at Thy Birth
 Christ, my Lord, at Thy Birth.

        Hushed is This Night

 Hushed the night! Blessed the night!
 All now sleep; see the light
 Round this soft and heavn-blest pair.
 Round God's child with curls in his hair
 Sleep in God's love and peace,
 Sleep in God's love and peace.

 Hushed the night! Blessed the night!
 Son of God, love's pure light
 Beams of light shine out from thy face,
 With the dawn of our hope for His grace,
 Christ, my Lord at thy birth,
 Christ, my Lord at thy birth.

 Hushed the night! Blessed the night!
 Brought the world grace and light,
 Down from God's home's gold-hued height
 Down to earth it brings the sight:
 God, as one of our own,
 God, as one of our own.

 Hushed the night! Blessed the night!
 By his love, by his might
 God each child of His has held
 With us in his love doth meld
 Christ, all lands of the earth,
 Christ, all lands of the earth.

 Hushed the night! Blessed the night!
 Saved us all from our plight
 God the world from woe hath freed,
 Out of dark who His word doth heed.
 All the world is spared,
 All the world is spared.

 Hushed the night! Blessed the night!
 Herds' men first saw the sight
 Of wing'd choirs who sang Hark to the Lord
 Near and far they sent out the word
 Christ, the son of God's born,
 Christ, the son of God's born.
