Peaceful Hours


The night is still and all asleep
God’s creatures now their silence keep
While moonbeams shine on land and sea.
We put to rest a long, hard day  
Our stress and worries fly away—
For this time, dear God, we thank Thee.
The night is still and all asleep
God’s creatures now their silence keep.

Nature sleeps through the quiet night
And nothing will disturb the light
While moonbeams shine on land and sea;
For this time, dear God, we thank Thee.
The night is still and all asleep
God’s creatures now their silence keep.
