On a Quiet Christmas Morn

There's not a soul out on the street No footprints in the falling snow The only moving thing I see Is the curl of chimney smoke Frost melts on the window panes and the house is getting warm From the fire's crackling flames on a quiet Christmas morn Now I walked out in the silent world No engines roared, no sirens whined No teasing boys chased squealing girls No noise of school bells chimed No one raced off to work through the din of honking horns And there was truly peace on earth on a quiet Christmas morn On a quiet Christmas morn A child was in a stable born Shepherds heard the baby cry, saw a new star in the sky On a quiet Christmas morn The hustle stops and the bustle stills On this day all is calm Forgiving kindness and goodwill Soothes like a healing balm The hardest heart is softened by the blessing that was born When the gift of grace was offered on a quiet Christmas morn And on a quiet Christmas morn A child was in a stable born Shepherds heard the baby cry, saw a new star in the sky On a quiet Christmas morn Shepherds heard the baby cry, saw a new star in the sky On a quiet Christmas morn
