Silent Night, Golden Light

[Verse 1] [soft] Snow lays soft upon the sill, the bells have all gone still. One candle in the window pane holds back the winter chill. [Verse 2] The pews are worn and old and kind, each hand a small amen. The organ waits, the choir stands, and heaven leans in then. [Chorus] O golden light, come fill this place, be warm upon each turning face. No hurry in the hush tonight, the whole earth breathes, and all is right. [Verse 3] A mother rocks a sleeping child beneath the rafters low. Wax runs slow down every flame and mercy starts to grow. [Pre-Chorus] No thunder and no crown of gold, no city held its breath— just straw and dark and one bright cry that answered fear and death. [Chorus] O golden light, come fill this place, be warm upon each turning face. No hurry in the hush tonight, the whole earth breathes, and all is right. [Bridge] [whispered] And if the years have worn you thin, lay down your load, come sit within. The door stands wide, the lamp still lit— you're home, you're found, you're welcome yet. [Outro] [soft] Snow lays soft upon the sill... the world grows kind, the world grows still.
