Here are the lyrics to some of our favorite quiet songs.

Edelweiss

Edelweiss, Edelweiss, every morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss, bless my homeland forever

Michael Row the Boat Ashore

Michael row the boat ashore, Alleluia
Michael row the boat ashore, Alleluia
Other Verses:
Sister help to trim the sail, alleluia (repeat)
Brother lend a helping hand, alleluia (repeat)
Jordan's river is chilly and cold, alleluia (repeat)
Kills the body, but not the soul, alleluia (repeat)
Jordan's river is deep and wide, alleluia (repeat)
Meet my mother on the other side, alleluia (repeat)

All Through The Night

Sleep my child and peace attend thee.
All through the night.
Guardian angels God will send thee,
All through the night.
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping
Hill and vale in slumber sleeping
I my loving vigil keeping,
All through the night.
While the moon her watch is keeping
All through the night.
While the weary world is sleeping,
All through the night.
O'er thy spirit gently stealing
Visions of delight revealing
Breathes a pure and holy feeling,
All through the night.
