The World Was Hushed In Silence Deep

Author: Susan K. Bourne Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12310 Lyrics: 1 The world was hushed in silence deep, The waiting shepherds watched their sheep; When came the joyful angel throng, And listening ages caught their song. O glorious song! O blessèd story! It floats along from realms of glory. Each Christmas day it comes again— On earth be peace! Good will to men! 2 A wondrous star was sent to shine, And show the world the Babe divine; And from the east the wise men came, With royal honors to His name. O guiding star, so brightly beaming! From ages far thy radiance streaming, Still draws the nations to His feet, The Babe of Bethlehem to greet! 3 ’Twas Love that brought Him here to earth, ’Twas Love that planned His humble birth; ’Tis Love that draws us to Him now, And bids us at His feet to bow. O holy Love! in fullest measure, We bring to Thee our richest treasure, To grace Thy glowing diadem, O blessèd Babe of Bethlehem!
