’Twas in the moon of wintertime, | |||
When all the birds had fled, | |||
That mighty Gitchi Manitou | |||
Sent angel choirs instead; | |||
Before their light the stars grew dim, | |||
And wondering hunters heard the hymn: | |||
''Refrain:'' | |||
Jesus your King is born, | |||
Jesus is born, | |||
In excelsis gloria. | |||
Within a lodge of broken bark | |||
The tender babe was found, | |||
A ragged robe of rabbit skin | |||
Enwrapped his beauty round; | |||
But as the hunter braves drew nigh, | |||
The angel song rang loud and high: | |||
''Refrain'' | |||
O children of the forest free, | |||
O seed of Manitou, | |||
The holy Child of earth and Heav’n | |||
Is born today for you. | |||
Come kneel before the radiant Boy, | |||
Who brings you beauty, peace and joy. | |||

’Twas in the moon of wintertime,
When all the birds had fled,
That mighty Gitchi Manitou
Sent angel choirs instead;
Before their light the stars grew dim,
And wondering hunters heard the hymn:
Refrain:
Jesus your King is born,
Jesus is born,
In excelsis gloria.
Within a lodge of broken bark
The tender babe was found,
A ragged robe of rabbit skin
Enwrapped his beauty round;
But as the hunter braves drew nigh,
The angel song rang loud and high:
Refrain
O children of the forest free,
O seed of Manitou,
The holy Child of earth and Heav’n
Is born today for you.
Come kneel before the radiant Boy,
Who brings you beauty, peace and joy.
