Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Hail to the Queen of the silent night Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Queen of the silent night,
Shine clear, shine bright,
Yield thy pensive light,
Blithly we'll dance in thy silver ray,
Happily passing the hours away;
Must we not live the stilly night,
Dress'd in her robes of blue and white?
Heav'ns arches ring,
Stars wink and sing,
Hail! silent night!
Chorus:
Fairy moonlight, fairy moonlight, fairy moonlight.
2 Dart thy pure beams from thy throne on high,
Beam on, thro' sky,
Rob'd in azure dye;
We'll laugh and we'll sport while the nightbird sings,
Flapping the dew from his sable wings;
Sprites love to sport in the still moonlight,
Play with the pearls of shadowy night:
Then let us sing,
Time's on the wing,
Hail, silent night! {Chorus} Used With Tune: [Hail to the Queen of the silent night]
Hail, to the Queen of Night
