1 As midnight hush so calm and still
Was brooding o’er the vale and hill,
The shepherds ’neath the starry night
Were watching o’er their flocks by night.
But a wondrous word,
Thro’ the silence heard,
It was "Glory be to God, to God on high!"
Refrain:
Glory to God, be to God on high,
Peace unto earth, unto earth is nigh;
Glory, to God, list the reply!
It is glory to God, unto God on high!
2 Bright star beams crowned the dreaming plain,
The night wind breathed a soft refrain;
O’er David’s town dark shadows crept,
As shepherds still their vigil kept.
But a wondrous word,
Thro’ the silence heard,
It was "Glory be to God, to God on high!" [Refrain]
3 O holy night! O night divine!
What tender joy, what peace is thine!
For ’mid thy silence seraphs come
To herald One from heav’nly home.
But a wondrous word,
Thro’ the silence heard,
It was "Glory be to God, to God on high!" [Refrain]
