Gentle Moon, You Move So Quietly

[INTRO]
Gentle moon, you move so quietly
Through the evening clouds above;
By your Maker’s wise decree,
On your path you steady move.
Shine with kindness on the weary,
In their chambers, still and deep,
And where hearts are sad and dreary,
Pour your light of peaceful sleep.

Gentle moon, you wander softly
’Cross the heaven’s canopy,
Where our God has placed you loftly
As a light for all to see.
Look on us with trust and favor
Through the night upon the land;
As a guardian who’ll not waver,
Showing us the Father’s hand.

Gentle moon, so mild and tender,
Shining in the sea of stars,
Gliding in your solemn splendor
Through the realm that knows no bars.
Comfort-giver, God’s own greeting,
High on clouds of peace you’re borne,
Till we find the joyful meeting
With the fairest light of morn.
