O Night, Restful and Deep in a new musical setting by Sara Garrard. A beautiful, peaceful song for Christmas, expanding into warm harmonies over four verses.
We will be singing this in the Sing Clifton Christmas concert 2022.
O Night, restful and deep
The Babe folded in sleep,
In a poor manger dreameth!
Moonlight softly doth shine,
Around melody streameth:
“He is the Babe Divine!
He is the Babe Divine!”O Dawn, rosy and shy,
Greet Him where He doth lie,
At the birds’ call awaking!
As clouds fleeing from sight,
So all shadows are breaking:
”He is the dark World’s Light!
He is the dark World’s Light!”Oh Morn, lovely and blest,
Round Him, guarding His rest,
Angels gently are singing:
”Hail Him! Heavenly Dove!”
Their notes joyfully ringing:
”He is the King of Love!
He is the King of Love!”O Day, glorious the hour,
words from O bienheureuse nuit, a French Noel, English Translation by K. W. Simpson
Jesus mighty in power,
Waketh in lowly manger!
He bids sorrowing cease;
Seek Him ever in danger!
He is the sad World’s Peace.
He is the sad World’s Peace.
