Now the angels’ song has trailed away And only earthly sounds remain A baahing sheep, a bleating goat A nervous shepherd clears his throat And a husband asks “Are you alright? ” As a weary mother lullabyes And through it all a baby cries Hush now, listen, that’s the sound Of the Kingdom coming (the Kingdom coming) The Kingdom coming (the Kingdom coming) The Kingdom coming to your town Now the angels’ song was long ago Was it all a dream? It’s hard to know 'Cause we’ve made ourselves a world so loud Who can hear a thing in the madding crowd? Oh but sometimes on a midnight clear If we close our eyes we begin to hear A still small voice saying “Christ is near” Hush now, listen, that’s the sound Of the Kingdom coming (the Kingdom coming) The Kingdom coming (the Kingdom coming) The Kingdom coming to your town
