Lyrics

What is this lovely fragrance stealing
Shepherds, that fills the winter air?
Never was sweetness so appealing
Never were flowers of spring so fair
What is this lovely fragrance stealing
Shepherds, that fills the winter air?

What is this light so fair, so tender
Breaking upon our wond'ring eyes
Never the morning star so radiant
Followed his course o'er eastern skies
What is this light so fair, so tender
Breaking upon our wond'ring eyes

What is this wonder all around us
Filling the air with music light?
Shepherds! some magic here hath found us!
Never mine ears knew such delight!
What is this wonder all around us
Filling the air with music light!

What is this lovely fragrance stealing?
Shepherds! it sets my heart astir!
Never was sweetness so appealing
Never were flowers of spring so fair
What is this lovely fragrance stealing?
Shepherds! it sets my heart astir!
