lyrics
This is the time so well we love,
The time of all the year;
When winter calls with chilling breath,
For fireside and good cheer.
A time for man and beast to stand
And feel the season turn;
To watch the stars for secret signs,
And God's true lessons learn.
For the time when the corn is all into the barn,
The old cow's breath's a frosty wine,
When the morn along the fallow field
Doth silver shine.
And when cold morning's radiant star
Shines over hill and plain;
We know anew that little babe
Is born to us again.
And man and beast and bird in tree,
Each one in his own place;
We bow our hearts and thank our God
For winter rest and grace.
For the time when the corn is all into the barn,
The old cow's breath's a frosty wine,
When the morn along the fallow field
Doth silver shine.
The time of all the year;
When winter calls with chilling breath,
For fireside and good cheer.
A time for man and beast to stand
And feel the season turn;
To watch the stars for secret signs,
And God's true lessons learn.
For the time when the corn is all into the barn,
The old cow's breath's a frosty wine,
When the morn along the fallow field
Doth silver shine.
And when cold morning's radiant star
Shines over hill and plain;
We know anew that little babe
Is born to us again.
And man and beast and bird in tree,
Each one in his own place;
We bow our hearts and thank our God
For winter rest and grace.
For the time when the corn is all into the barn,
The old cow's breath's a frosty wine,
When the morn along the fallow field
Doth silver shine.
