’Twas in the stillness of the night that Jesus came;
No blare of trumpets heralded his birth
Nor broke the wonted silence of the earth;
No clang of bells or blantant hue and cry
Disturbed the calm beneath the Bethlehem sky.
When Jesus came ’twas night,
And the world was still.

’Tis to the quiet heart he loves to come:
Not often ’midst the tumult of the day,
When we can find small time to think or pray,
Or when, confused by agitating care,
We find no secret place for him to share.
We must be still if we his voice would hear.
’Tis to the quiet heart he loves to come.
