Quietly, softly, gently, a heart beats at night
A lonely heart, an aching heart
One filled with pain and fears

Quietly, softly, gently, I weep in the night
Aching, breaking, my pillow soaked with tears

Quietly, softly, gently, You tiptoe in my room
You hold my hand, stroke my brow, whisper 'I love you'

Quietly, softly, gently, you wipe away my tears
Blessed grace, saving grace, flowing through and through

Quietly, softly, gently, I drift off to sleep
Saving love, covering love, my Jesus watches me
