G C My counterpane is soft as silk,
G C My blankets white, white as creamy milk.
Am D7 The hay was soft to Him, I know,
C Am G Our little Lord of long, long ago.

C G Above the roofs the pigeons fly
C G In silver wheels across the sky.
C G The stable-doves they cooed to them,
Am G Mary and Christ
C in Bethlehem.
Am
G C Bright shines the sun across the drifts,
G C And bright upon my Christmas gifts.
Am D7 They brought Him incense, myrrh, and gold,
C Am G Our little Lord who lived of old.

C G Oh, soft and clear our mother sings
C G Of Christmas joys and Christmas things.
C G God's holy angels sang to them,
Am G Mary and Christ
C in Bethlehem.
Am
G C Our hearts they hold all Christmas dear,
G C And earth seems sweet and heaven seems near,
Am D7 Oh, heaven was in His sight, I know,
C Am G That little Child of long, long ago.

C G Oh, soft and clear our mother sings
C G Of Christmas joys and Christmas things.
C G God's holy angels sang to them,
Am G Mary and Christ
C in Bethlehem.

[Lyrics by Marjorie L. C. Pickthall]
My counterpane is soft as silk,
My blankets white, white as creamy milk.
The hay was soft to Him, I know,
Our little Lord of long, long ago.
Above the roofs the pigeons fly
In silver wheels across the sky.
The stable-doves they cooed to them,
Mary and Christ in Bethlehem.
Bright shines the sun across the drifts,
And bright upon my Christmas gifts.
They brought Him incense, myrrh, and gold,
Our little Lord who lived of old.
Oh, soft and clear our mother sings
Of Christmas joys and Christmas things.
God's holy angels sang to them,
Mary and Christ in Bethlehem.
Our hearts they hold all Christmas dear,
And earth seems sweet and heaven seems near,
Oh, heaven was in His sight, I know,
That little Child of long, long ago.
Oh, soft and clear our mother sings
Of Christmas joys and Christmas things.
God's holy angels sang to them,
Mary and Christ in Bethlehem.
