Our fifth poem is sung by Bob and John Cooper in
1971 and the composer is Douglas Brooks-Davies but there seems to be no known
author.
Softly The Night
Silent the shepherds watching their gently flocks
are still.
But hark the wondrous music falls from the
opening sky.
Valley and cliff re-echo glory to God on high.
Glory to God it rings again. Peace on earth, goodwill to men.
Come with the gladsome shepherds quick hastening
from the fold,
Come with the wise men bringing incense and myrrh
and gold,
Come to him poor and lowly all-round the cradle
throng,
Come with our hearts of sunshine and sing the
angels’ song.
Glory to God tell out again,
Peace on earth, goodwill to men.
Wave you the wreath unfading, the fir tree and
the pine,
Green from the snows of winter to deck the holy shrine.
Bring you the happy children for this is
Christmas morn,
Jesus the sinless infant, Jesus the Lord is born.
Glory to God, to God again,
Peace on earth, goodwill to men.
May God Bless Always, Women of Faith and Hope by
My Mother Rose.
