O Gentle Town at Winter’s Edge

O gentle town at winter's edge

Where quiet snowflakes fall

The night is wrapped in silver light

That softly covers all

The stars are shining overhead

So calm, so pure, so bright

They watch the world in stillness lie

Upon this peaceful night

The hush of dreams drifts through the streets

As lanterns softly glow

And every window warmly gleams

Against the drifting snow

A hope is carried on the breeze

For all who long to see

The light of love that gently comes

With tender mystery

O hear the quiet hearts rejoice

For dawn is drawing near

And through the shadows, soft and low

A promise now appears

So let us lift our voices warm

In songs of lasting grace

For peace has touched the earth tonight

Within this humble place
