1
'twas in the moon of winter-time
2
when all the birds had fled,
3
that mighty gitchi Manitou
4
sent angel choirs instead;
5
before the light the stars grew dim,
6
and wondering hunters herd the hymn:
7
"Jesus your king is born, Jesus is born,
8
in excelsis Gloria."
9
within a lodge of broken bark
10
the tender babe was found,
11
a raged robe of rabbit skin
12
enwrapp'd his beauty round;
13
but as the hunter braves drew nigh,
14
the angel song rang loud and high... refrain
15
the earliest moon of winter-time is not so round and fair,
16
as was the ring of glory on the helpless infant there;
17
the chiefs from far before him knelt
18
with gifts of fox and beaver pelt... refrain
19
O children of the forest free,
20
O sons of Manitou,
21
The Holy Child of earth and heaven
22
Is born today for you.
23
Come kneel before the radiant Boy
24
Who brings you beauty, peace and joy... refrain
