Author: Lizzie DeArmond Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7907 First Line: A song floated down thro’ the silence of night Refrain First Line: Peace, peace, peace on the earth! Lyrics: 1 A song floated down thro’ the silence of night,
Enfolding each shadowy plain,
Glad welcome to Jesus, the dear Christmas guest,
All glorious rang the refrain.
Refrain:
Peace, peace, peace on the earth!
Hear the sweet anthem resounding!
Peace, peace, peace on the earth!
Message the shepherds astounding!
Joy, joy, joy to the world!
Sorrow and sin ’tis confounding,
Heav’n’s gladness voicing,
Rapt with rejoicing,
Angels are singing their glad refrain.
2 The mountains and hilltops re-echoed the lay,
The earth shone with heavenly light;
The word of the prophets, the Gospel of love,
Came true on that wonderful night. [Refrain]
3 The hope of the years, the Redeemer divine,
Is born in the Bethlehem town;
From throne to a manger, the Lord of the skies,
The King pure and holy comes down. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [A song floated down thro' the silence of night]
