Bethlehem Land

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!
