On a Christmas Morning (Bradbury)

Children

can you truly tell

Do you know the sto­ry well

Every girl and ev­ery boy

Why the an­gels sang for joy

On the Christ­mas morn­ing

On the Christ­mas morn­ing?

Yes

we know the sto­ry well;

Listen now

and hear us tell

Every lit­tle girl and boy

Why the an­gels sang for joy

Shepherds sat up­on the ground

Fleecy flocks lay scat­tered round

When a bright­ness filled the sky

And a song was heard on high

Joy and peace the an­gels sang

Far the plea­sant ech­oes rang;

Peace on earth

to men good will

Hark! the an­gels sing it still

For a lit­tle babe this day

Cradled in a man­ger lay;

Born on earth our Lord to be

This the won­der­ing an­gels see
