Silent Night of Peace

[Verse 1] The lamps are low, the village fast asleep Frost on the pane, the hour grows deep No wheel, no bell, no traveler on the road Just one small light in a wooden fold [Pre-Chorus] And something holy stirs the air tonight A hush that falls like the softest light [Chorus] O silent night of peace, come down on us Lay all our weary burdens in the dust A child is born to break the winter's hold And warmth is rising through the cold O silent night of peace [Verse 2] The shepherd bends beside the trembling flame His rough hands folded, he speaks a name No crown, no throne, just a manger and some hay Yet kings will kneel where the meek ones pray [Pre-Chorus] And something ancient answers to our need A promise blooming from a scattered seed [Chorus] O silent night of peace, come down on us Lay all our weary burdens in the dust A child is born to break the winter's hold And warmth is rising through the cold O silent night of peace [Bridge] Let the guns fall quiet, let the arguing cease Let the poorest table hold a plate of peace For the light we waited for has come at last And morning breaks the shadow of the past [Chorus] O silent night of peace, come down on us Lay all our weary burdens in the dust A child is born to break the winter's hold And warmth is rising through the cold [Outro] O silent night, O holy, holy night Sing it soft until the dawn O silent night of peace, sing on
