Christmas Carols and Hymns ‎#8

8. O Bienheureuse Nuit

1 O night, peaceful and blest!
For now, Jesus doth rest
Near his fond watchful mother;
Soft light o'er him doth shine
Around, bright angels hover,
He is the Child Divine.

O night, peaceful and blest!
For now Jesus doth rest
Near his fond watchful mother;
soft light o'er him doth shine,
Around, bright angels hover,
He is the Child Divine.

2 O morn, radiant with love!
The choirs hymn thee above,
For their watch now is ended;
On high, songs never cease,
While ours with theirs are blended,
He is the Prince of Peace.

O morn, radiant with love!
The choirs hymn thee above,
For their watch now is ended.
On high, songs never cease,
While ours with theirs are blended,
He is the Prince of Peace.
