The First Christmas Night
Author: William C. Dix; Richard W. Adams Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: There was silence in Bethlehem’s fields that night Lyrics: 1 There was silence in Bethlehem’s fields that night,
Where the shepherds were keeping their sheep;
And the stars calmly shone from their beautiful height,
While the flocks on the hills lay asleep;
Lo, the quiet that fell
In that holy, mysterious hour
Spoke of promise fulfilled, and of hope now revived
That for years had been robbed of her power.
2 How dreary the ages of strife passed away,
Since this marvelous night was foretold;
How still the deep quiet that reigns ere the day,
And the midnight so lonely and cold.
Love descended to earth,
Where sheep on the hills lay asleep;
Then an angel spoke out of the wonderful birth—
That we no more need sorrow or weep.
3 Then suddenly came to the angel most bright
All the host of the heavenly choir,
And a glory broke forth far more dazzling to sight
Than the sun in its bright noonday fire;
Now the silence is o’er,
The promise no longer deferred,
The angels sang out, and the shepherds looked up:
Good tidings from Heaven they heard. Used With Tune: [There was silence in Bethlehem’s fields that night] Text Sources: A Vision of All Saints (London: John Hodges, 1871)

Author: Warren D. Cornell Hymnal: Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) #135 (1997) First Line: Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight Lyrics: 1 Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight
Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm;
In celestial-like strains it unceasingly falls
O'er my soul like an infinite calm.
Chorus:
Peace, peace, wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above!
Sweep over my spirit for ever, I pray,
In fathomless billows of love.
2 What a treasure I have in this wonderful peace,
Buried deep in the heart of my soul,
So secure that no power can mine it away,
While the years of eternity roll! [Chorus]
3 I am resting tonight in this wonderful peace,
Resting sweetly in Jesus' control;
For I'm kept from all danger by night and by day,
And His glory is flooding my soul. [Chorus]
4 And I think when I rise to that city of peace,
Where the Author of peace I shall see,
That one strain of the song which the ransomed will sing
In that heavenly kingdom will be: [Chorus] Topics: Peace Scripture: Isaiah 26:3 Languages: English Tune Title: [Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight]

W. G. Cooper
1861 - 1938 Person Name: W. G. Cooper, 19th Century Composer of "[Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight]" in Hymnal of the Church of God Rv William Gustin Cooper USA 1861-1938.

He also conducted camp meetings. He wrote a number of hymn lyrics and a few tunes. He died in Canton, ME.
Note: In a campmeeting service in 1889, when the service was over, a lyricist, Warren Cornell, sat writing a poem. As he left the site, he dropped the paper he was writing and didn't notice it. An hour or or so later, Rev. Cooper came in to tidy up the tent area for the next service, saw the paper, picked it up and read it, and was so inspired by the words, that he finished writing the text and went to the organ and composed the tune for the hymn, “Wonderful peace”.
