Night of Silence

Cold are the people, winter of life
We tremble in shadows this cold endless night
Frozen in the snow lie roses sleeping
Flowers that will echo the sunrise
Fire of hope is our only warmth
Weary its flame will be dying soon.


Voice in the distance, call in the night
On wind you enfold us you speak of the light
Gentle on the ear you whisper softly
Rumors of a dawn so embracing
Breathless love awaits darkened souls
Soon will we know of the morning.


Spirit among us shine like the star
Your light that guides shepherds and kings from afar
Shimmer in the sky so empty, lonely,
Rising in the warmth of your Son’s love
Star unknowing of night and day
Spirit we wait for your loving Son.

Silent Night

Silent night holy night all is calm all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infoant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace.


Silent night holy night, shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia
Christ the savior is born, Christ the savior is born


Silent night holy night, Son of God, love’s pure light.
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord at thy birth, Jesus Lord, at thy birth.
