The Children's Hymnbook ‎#62

62. In the Dark and Silent Night

1 In the dark and silent night,
Blessed Lord, be Thou my light;
So shall nothing me affright.
Hallelujah!

2 Safely shadowed 'neat Thy wing,
Help Thy little one to sing
Glory to the heavenly King.
Hallelujah!

3 Angels sing, and so would I,
While upon my bed I lie,
Praise my Father silently.
Hallelujah!
