Went to an inn and they knocked on the

On to the other inns they slowly drew.
Found to their sorrow that they were full

Even the last inn was full,
Hear them say -

With oxen and ass,
You will come to no harm.
Make up a bed on the sweet smelling

Today, today, today.”

IN THE STILLNESS OF THE NIGHT
1st Verse:
In the stillness of the night,
Somewhere a baby cries.
In the stillness of the night,
A child is born.
In a stable cold and dark,
And in a manger laid,
Bringing hope to all the world,
In the stillness of the night.
2nd Verse:
In the stillness of the night,
The shepherds tend their sheep.
In the stillness of the night,
When all is calm.
Then the heavens blaze with light,
They hear the angels song,
Bringing joy to all the world,
In the stillness of the night.
3rd Verse:
In the stillness of the night,
The Royal Kings draw near.
In the stillness of the night,
They kneel and pray.
And they offer to the child,
The precious gifts they bear,
Paying homage to the King
In the stillness of the night.
4th Verse:
In the stillness of your heart,
The Christ-child calls to you.
In the stillness of your heart,
He speaks your name.
Let Him come into your life
He'll bring you hope and joy.
You can offer Him your love,
In the stillness of the night.
