“The Snow Carol”
Part 2
Part 1
Still, still, still,
Still, still, still,
You can hear the falling snow.
You can hear the falling snow.
For all is hushed, the world is sleeping,
For all is hushed, the world is sleeping,
Shining star its vigil keeping.
Shining star its vigil keeping.
Still, still, still,
Still, still, still,
You can hear the falling snow.
You can hear the falling snow.
Sleep, sleep, sleep,
Falling, falling, snow gently falling,
While we thy vigil keep.
A blanket soft and deep.
The night is peaceful all around you.
The night is peaceful all around you.
Close your eyes, let sleep surround you.
Close your eyes, let sleep surround you.
Sleep, sleep, sleep,
Falling, falling, snow gently falling,
While we thy vigil keep.
A blanket soft and deep.
Dream, dream, dream,
Falling, falling, snow gently falling,
Of the joyous day to come.
A joyous day to come.
While guardian angels without number
While guardian angels without number
Watch you as you sweetly slumber.
Watch you as you sweetly slumber.
Dream, dream, dream,
Falling, falling, snow gently falling,
Of the joyous day to come.
A joyous day to come.
You can hear the falling snow.
You can hear the falling snow.
