{{Vs|1}} There was silence in Bethlehem's fields that night, | |||
Where the shepherds their flocks were keeping; | |||
The stars calmly shone from their beautiful height, | |||
The sheep on the hills lay asleeping. | |||
And the quiet that fell on that wondrous hour, | |||
From all others was strangely parted. | |||
And Hope that for years had been robb'd of her power, | |||
Was the Hope of the weary-hearted. | |||
{{mdl|3}} | |||
{{Vs|2}} How dreary the ages of strife pass'd away, | |||
Since the word of His coming was spoken! | |||
Still, still the deep darkness that reigns ere the day, | |||
And quietness almost unbroken, | |||
Thro' darkness and silence, Peace hasted to earth, | |||
Where sheep on the hills lay asleeping, | |||
And the angels declared the wonderful birth, | |||
The end of her sorrow and weeping. | |||
{{mdl|3}} | |||
{{Vs|3}} Then suddenly came to this angel most bright, | |||
A Host of the Heavenly chorus, | |||
And a glory brake forth more dazzling to sight | |||
Than the sun which at noonday burns o'er us; | |||
The silence was over the Hope long deferr'd, | |||
The waiting for Christ and His glory, | |||
When the angels sang out and the listeners heard | |||
The tidings they brought in their story. | |||
