A spaceman came traveling on his ship from afar, 'Twas light years of time since his mission did start, And over a village he halted his craft, And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star, He followed a light, and came down to a shed, Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed, A bright light of silver shone round his head, And he had the face of an angel, and they were afraid, Then the stranger spoke, he said, “do not fear, I come from a planet a long way from here, And I bring a message for mankind to hear”, And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air ---
