A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar
 twas light years of time since his mission did start
And over a village he halted his craft
And it hung in the sky like a star
Just like a star

He followed a light and came down to a shed
Where mother and child were there lying on a bed
A bright light of silver shone round his head
And he had the face of an angel
And they were afraid

When the stranger spoke, he said,  Do not fear!
I come from a planet a long way from here,
And I have a message for mankind to hear 
Suddenly the sweetest music filled the air

And it went, la, la, la ...
Peace and good will to all men,
And love for the child
La, la, la ...

This lovely music went trembling through the ground
And many were wakened on hearing the sound
And travellers on the road the village the found
By the light of that ship in the sky
Which shone all around

And just before dawn at the paling of the sky
The stranger returned and said:  Now I must fly!
When two thousand years of your time has gone by
This song will begin once again to a baby s cry!
