  C             Am               Em          Am
I danced in the morning when the world had begun
      Dm                                       G
And I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun
  C              Am           Em            Am
I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth
   Dm    G     C
At Bethlehem I had my birth

'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free
         Dm                                  G
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be
    C               Am            Em         Am
And when we find ourselves in the place just right
       Dm        G         C
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight

     C       Am   Em    Am
