Lyrics

A frosty Christmas eve

When the stars were shining

I traveled for the lone

Where westward falls the hill

And for many, many a village

In the darkness of the valley

Distant music reached me

Heals of bells were ringing

Then sped my thoughts to olden times

To the first of Christmases

When shepherds who were watching

Heard music in the fields

And they sat there and they marveled

Because they couldn't tell

Whether it were angels or the bright stars a singing

But to be heard a far

It was starry music

The singing of the angels

The comfort of our lord

Words of old that come a traveling

By the riches of the times

And I softly listened

As I stood upon the hill

And I softly listened

As I stood upon the hill
