Does anyone know this song? From the Artisan CD I can't quite make out the last line of the first verse (The smiles can be heard he's awake to their sound) so I've guessed. Can someone put me right before I try to learn it?

Gently Softly
Brian Bedford

Gently, softly I'll whisper a prayer for you
Pull back the shawl and wait for a while
Gently, softly I'll whisper a song for you
Maybe you'll look and maybe you'll smile

Open a the door let the world come and peep
But tell them to whisper this baby's asleep
For here in this stable with friends all around
The smiles can be heard he's awake to their sound

Open the door let the world know he's here
But tell them to tip toe as they draw near
For here in this stable the ox and the sheep
Are silently watching a baby asleep

Open the door let the world come inside
Tell them to tiptoe and stand by his side
This baby who sleeps in this manger of hay
One day may wake you and maybe he'll say
