a spaceman came travelling

on his ship from far

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 a 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

and it went

La...

peace and good will to all men

and love for the child

La...

this lovely music went trembling

through the ground

and many were wakened

on hearing that sound

and travellers on the road

the village they found

by the light of

that ship in the sky

which shone all round

and just before dawn

at the paling of the sky

the stranger returned

and said now I must fly

when two thousand years

of your time has gone by

this song will begin once again

to a baby's cry

and it went

La...

peace and good will to all men

and love for the child

La...
