Christmas Lullabye

Hear the angels sing "Fear Not"-Be at peace"

All youÝ menÝ with whom the Father is pleased.

With echoes of glory taken up in their flight

They cryÝ holy holy ho;ly tonight.

There is rest to be found in the righteous child

The fruit of the ages -by God's will reconciled

So songs from forever from heaven on high

Descend to us in Emmanuel's Lullabye.

Sleep now in sovereign security

The lord watches over providentially

The Lord is with Men

All heaven attends

While the cattle low in harmonyÖ

The shepherds tiptoeing the baby to see

Let him sellp soundly and let Him just be

For there's coming a time

He'll be swaddled in our crime

And there will be no rest for the wearyÖ

So listen now to the angel's song

They will be silenced e're long

And though he could recall them

Ten thousand strong

Then silence will reign over the earth

But for tonight we celebrate the Savior's birth.
