Softly Through the Mellow Starlight

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16549 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Softly through the mellow starlight Refrain First Line: Glory, glory, Christ is risen! Lyrics: 2 Softly through the mellow starlight Steals a strain of silver song; Lo, the echoing hills proclaim it, Waft the glad refrain along. Refrain: Glory, glory, Christ is risen! Whispered in the starlit way, List the lovely shades re-echo, "Christ the Lord is ris’n today." 3 Happy bands in shining raiment Fill the arch of Heaven’s dome, Sweep their harps to strains so tender, Wafted from their distant home. [Refrain] 3 Softly through life’s shaded valley Comes once more the silver strain, Borne on angel pinions to us, And we join the sweet refrain. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: GUNTUR

Author of "Softly Through the Mellow Starlight" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
