     G                              G           D
When I was afar one winters day I took my tea beneath the tree
    G                                G         D     G
A fire to keep the cold away and a pint for hungers yearning
       G                               G             D
When A boy appeared up yonder road a most peculiar sight to see
      D                                                G     D        G
He danced and he sang and he clapped his hands with a story of good tidings

 D             C                 Am                   D
Come and sit besides the fire I called to this young man
 C                       G                      D
What could bring such joyfulness I could not understand
   C                    D                          G
He smile outshone the fire and he looked me in the eye
         C                    G                     D              C
And he danced and sang and he clapped his hands and gave me this reply
D
He sang…

   G                                          D
I sat beneath the sky that night beyond imagination
     G                                     D   G
And from the sky a star of light directed destination
    G                                   D
In all my curiosity I followed without waiting
  G                                      D       G
Shepherds I met on the way were standing dumbly quaking
  D              C                  Am                  D
Then we heard a message and there seemed some glorious things
    C           G                D
An angel has appeared to us so bright with golden wings
    D         C                         D
A story of a baby who on this night is born
     C               G             D              C
A king of all the kingdoms our shelter from all storms
 D
They sang…

    G                                              D
When I arrived in Bethlehem the star was brightly shining
 G                                 D         G
Into a manger I could see a mother and her child
      G                                               D
Three men of stately origin with precious gifts were bearing
      G                                         D      G
They knelt before the new born king in a holy light I saw
    D              C              Am            D
A kingdom for the loving he has come to lead us to
    C               G        D
The son of man is living now can you feel it too
     D          C                                D
I scarcely can believe my ears the joy is in my heart
     C                 G                  D                C
For God has heard his peoples needs and gave a brand new start
