By James A. Tweedie

​After clicking 'Play', please wait a few moments for the song to load.

Silent night, holy night;
All is calm, all is bright.
May’s child, newly born,
Let me hold you close and warm.

Mary sleeps, so should you.
Jeus, close your eyes and I will, too.
Tiny child, hush your cry.
Hear your Daddy’s lullaby.

Are you God’s? Are you mine?
Are you human flesh? Or flesh divine?
Miracle! Mystery!
God’s most precious gift to me!
