What is this lovely fragrance stealing?

Shepherds that fills the winter air

Never was sweetness so appealing

Never were flowers of spring so fair

What is this lovely fragrance stealing?

Shepherds that fills the winter air

What is this light so fair, so tender

Breaking upon our wond'ring eyes

Never the morning star so radiant

Followed his course o'er eastern skies

What is this light so fair, so tender

Breaking upon our wond'ring eyes

What is this wonder all around us

Filling the air with music light?

Shepherds, some magic here hath found us

Never mine ears knew such delight

What is this wonder all around us

Filling the air with music light?

What is this lovely fragrance stealing?

Shepherds, it sets my heart astir

Never was sweetness so appealing

Never were flowers of spring so fair

What is this lovely fragrance stealing?

Shepherds, it sets my heart astir
