Gentle Night Songtext
von St. Louis Jesuits

Gentle night, starlit skies
Softly list while the mother sighs
Stone and straw must cradle Thee
There lies throned in all majesty
There lies throned in all majesty


Angel song rings above
Born the Son of the Father′s love
Helpless child in warrior's stead
King of kings in a manger bed
King of kings in a manger bed

Shepherds watch ′neath the trees
Cry of lambs on a quiet breeze
Then God's glory from on high
Come rejoice for your Savior's nigh
Come rejoice for your Savior′s nigh


Son of love, Son of life
Come to carry our sin and strife
Sleep on, baby, and fare thee well
All our hope and Emmanuel
All our hope and Emmanuel
