Hymnal: Kind Words #34 (1871) Lyrics: 1 Murmur, gentle lyre,
Thro' the lonely night;
Let thy trembling wire,
Waken pure delight!
Chorus:
Murmur, gentle lyre,
Thro' the lonely night,
Let thy trembling wire
Waken pure delight.
2 Tho' the tones of sorrow,
Mingle in thy strain;
Yet my heart can borrow
Pleasure from the pain. [Chorus]
3 Hark! the guiv'ring breeze,
List thy silv'ry sound,
Ev'ry tumult ceases,
Silence reigns around. [Chorus]
4 Earth below is sleeping,
Meadow, hill, and grove,
Angel stars are keeping,
Silent watch above. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: NIGHT SONG
Murmur, gentle lyre
