When I was afar one winters day I took my tv neath the tree

A fire to keep the cold away and a pint for hungers yearning

When a boy appeared up yonder road a most peculiar sight to see

He danced and he sang and he clapped his hands with a story of good tidings

Come and sit besides the fire I called to this young man

What could bring such joyfulness I could not understand

He smile outshone the fire and he looked me in the eye

And he danced and sang and he clapped his hands and gave me this reply

He sang

Ha la la la la la la la le ha la la la la la le luja

Ha la la la la la la la le ha la la la la la le luja

Ha la la la la la la la le ha la la la la la le luja

Ha la la la la la la la le ha la la la la la le luja

I sat beneath the sky that night beyond imagination

And from the sky a star of light directed destination

In all my curiosity I followed without waiting

Shepherds I met on the way were standing dumbly quaking

Then we heard a message and there seemed some glorious things

An angel has appeared to us so bright with golden wings

A story of a baby who on this night is born

A king of all the kingdoms our shelter from all storms

They sang

Ha la la la la la la la le ha la la la la la le luja

Ha la la la la la la la le ha la la la la la le luja

Ha la la la la la la la le ha la la la la la le luja

Ha la la la la la la la le ha la la la la la le luja

When I arrived in bethlehem the star was brightly shining

Into a manger I could see a mother and her child

Three men of stately origin with precious gifts were bearing

They knelt before the new born king in a holy light I saw

A kingdom for the loving he has come to lead us to

The son of man is living now can you feel it too

I scarcely can believe my ears the joy is in my heart

For God has heard his peoples needs and gave a brand new start

They sang

Ha la la la la la la la le ha la la la la la le luja

Ha la la la la la la la le ha la la la la la le luja

Ha la la la la la la la le ha la la la la la le luja

Ha la la la la la la la le ha la la la la la le luja

Ha la la la la la la la le ha la la la la la le luja
