G  
A frosty Christmas eve, when the stars where shining      
Em                         C                  D  
I traveled forth alone, where westward falls the hill          
C             D               C               D  
And for many, many a village, in the darkness of the valley          
G                           C          G  
Distant music reached me, peals of bells were ringing.    


G  
Then spread my thoughts to olden times, to that first of Christmases        
Em                                 C            D  
When shepherds who were watching, heard music in the fields            
C                  D                  C                   D  
And they sat there and they marveled, and they knew they could not tell          
G                       C              G  
Whether it were angels, or the bright stars a-singing    


G  
But to me heard a far, it was starry music       
Em                         C              D  
The singing of the angels, the comfort of our lord           
C                D                 C             D  
Words of old that come a traveling, by the riches of the times         
G                     C              G  
And I softly listened, as i stood upon the hill                               
C              G  
And I softly listened, as i stood upon the hill
