Gentle night, starred skies, softly list while the mother sighs. Stone and straw must cradle be. There lies thronéd all majesty; There lies thron'ed all majesty. Angels' song rings above, born the Son of the Father's love. Helpless Child in warrior's stead, King of kings in a manger bed; King of kings in a manger bed. Shepherds watch 'neath the trees; cry of lambs on a quiet breeze. Then God's glory from on high; Come, rejoice for your Savior's nigh; Come, rejoice, for your Savior's nigh. Son of love, Son of life, come to carry our sin and strife. Sleep on baby and fare thee well; all our hape and Emanuel, All our hope and Emanuel.
