Author: George Gascoigne Hymnal: The Harvard University Hymn Book #35 (1964) Lyrics: 1. You that have spent the silent night In sleep and quiet rest, And joy to see the cheerful light That riseth in the east; Now lift your hears, your voices raise, Your morning tribute bring, And pay a grateful song of praise To heaven's almighty King. 2. And as this gloomy night did last But for a little space, As heavenly day, now night is past, Doth show his pleasant face, So let us hope, when faith and love Their work on earth have done, God's blessed face to see above, Heaven's better, brighter Sun. 3. God grant us grace that height to gain, That glorious sight to see, And send us, after worldly pain, A life from trouble free, Where cheerful day shall ever shine, And sorrow never come; Lord, be a place, a portion, mine In that bright blissful home. Amen. Tune Title: OLD 22nd
You that have spent the silent night
