Fair the night in Bethl’hem land
Sweet the songs of angel band.
Fall
snow
so lightly!
Jesu
born of Mary maid
In an oxen stall as laid
O star
shine brightly!
Rustic shepherds in a ro
Knelt beside the cradle low.
Fall
snow
so lightly!
Told of all the magic song
They had heard their sheep among
O star
shine brightly!
Three men rode from out the wild
Came to greet the Christmas Child.
Fall
snow
so lightly!
Caspar
Melchior
Balthazar
Magian pilgrims from afar.
O star
shine brightly!
Spice and myrrh and gold of kings
Offerings rare of far-brought things.
Fall
snow
so lightly!
Gold for joy and myrrh for pain
Frankincense for altar’s fane
O star
shine brightly!
Noell
Noell
sing we then
Jesu saves the souls of men.
Fall
snow
so lightly!
So joy comes from God above
To all those who Christmas love.
O star
shine brightly!
