lyrics

Am
’Twas in the moon of wintertime,
___________G______Am
When all the birds had fled,
Am
That God the Lord of all the earth
__________G_____Am
Sent angel choirs instead;
C________________G
Before their light the stars grew dim,
_____Am
And wondering hunters heard the hymn:

Refrain
Em-Am____G____E7
Jesus your King is born,
Am_G___Am
Jesus is born,
Am______E7_Am
In excelsis Gloria.

The earliest moon of wintertime
Is not so round and fair
As was the ring of glory around
the Infant there.
Before their light the stars grew dim,
And wondering hunters heard the hymn:

Refrain

O children of the forest free,
The angels' song is true,
The holy Child of earth and Heav’n
Is born today for you.
Come kneel before the radiant Boy,
Who brings you beauty, peace and joy.
