Softly the Night Is Sleeping
Author: Edward Abiel Washburne Meter: 7.6.7.6 D with refrain Appears in 19 hymnals Refrain First Line: Glory to God! Lyrics: 1 Softly the night is sleeping
on Bethlehem'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 re-echo, "Glory to God on high!"
Refrain:
Glory to God! Glory to God!
Glory to God!
It rings again; peace on the earth!
Goodwill to men!
2 Day in the east is breaking;
day o'er the crimsoned earth;
now the glad world is waking,
glad in the Savior's birth!
See where the clear star bendeth
over the manger blessed;
see where the infant Jesus
smiles upon Mary's breast! [Refrain]
3 Come with the gladsome shepherds,
quick hast'ning from the fold;
come with the wise men, pouring
incense and myrrh and gold.
Come to him, poor and lowly,
around the cradle throne,
come with your hearts of sunshine,
and sing the angels' song. [Refrain]

On Bethlehem’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!
Refrain:
Glory to God! Glory to God!
Glory to God! it rings again,
Peace on the earth! good will to men!
2 Day in the east is breaking;
Day o’er the crimsoned earth;
Now the glad world is waking,
Glad in the Savior’s birth!
See where the clear star blendeth
Over the manger blest;
See where the infant Jesus
Smiles upon Mary’s breast! [Refrain]
3 Come with the gladsome shepherds,
Quick hastening from the fold;
Come with the wise men, pouring
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. [Refrain]
4 Weave ye the wreaths 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. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Softly the night is sleeping]
