Thrushes stir in the trees, and hide from the moonlight 
                   C5            G5        B5 
high on the stoney ridge all is still 
    B5          C5        C5                G5       A5 
the whole world is waiting, silent as the icy stars 
       C5          D5      D5        G5      C5  G5  C5   
A holy winter, to cheer our darkened hearts

Jesus, our Lord and king, born in a stable 
                  C5                 G5       B5 
wrapped in rags, asleep on a bed of straw 
          B5   C5       C5                     G5      A5 
though he is from heaven, still it is enough for him 
                C5                  D5  D5       G5      
he who made the mountains and will come again to reign

O blessed night, bright angels are singing

for heavens light, is lying in a manger bed 
B5              E5 
sweet Mary, she kisses his head

and sings a lullaby

    B5        C5      C5                 G5        A5 
and sheperds and sages, all have come this night 
           C5      D5   D5      G5       G5  D5 
to welcome him , Redeemer of the world
