1. Peaceful the wondrous night,
Peaceful and holy,
Under the silv'ry light,
Gleaming afar.
Faithfully watching there,
Shepherds so lowly,
Over the hills so fair,
Saw glory's star.
[Refrain]
Hail to the starry night,
Sparkling with glory;
Angels on wings of light,
Thronging the sky.
Hail to that starry night!
Wondrous its story:
Jesus the Prince of Light,
Came from above.
2. Come with that shepherd band,
Come to the manger;
Join in the [Chorus] grand,
Glory to God!
Worship the holy Child,
Wonderful Stranger,
Give to the Undefiled,
Glory and laud. [Refrain]
3. Sweet favor, thus to bow,
Love's treasure bringing,
Gratefully yielding now,
Life's joyful praise.
Hear from the heav'nly height,
Glad echoes ringing,
Blessing and pow'r and might,
Through endless days. [Refrain]
