'Twas a starry night of old,
When rejoicing angels told
The poor shepherds of Thy birth,
God became a child on earth.
Soft and quiet is the bed
Where I lay my little head;
Thou hadst but a manger bare,
Rugged straw for pillow bare.
Saviour, 'twas to win me grace
Thou didst stoop to that poor place,
Loving with a perfect love
Child, and man, and God above.
If my slumbers broken be,
Waking let me think of Thee;
Darkness cannot make me fear,
If I feel that Thou art near.
Happy now I turn to sleep;
Thou wilt watch around me keep.
Him no danger e'er can harm
Who lies cradled on Thine arm.
