[Dm] A [F] spaceman came traveling [C] on his ship from [Dm] afar.
[F] It was light [C] years of time [Bb] since his mission did [C] start.
[Dm] And over [Am] a village [Bb] he halted his [Dm] craft.
[F] And it hung [C] in the sky [Bb] like a star, just [D] like [Dm] a star.
He followed [F] a light and [C] came down to a [Dm] shed
[F] where a mother [C] and child were [Bb] lying there on a [C] bed.
[Dm] A bright light [Am] of silver [Bb] shone [Dm] round his head.
[F] And he had the [C] face [Bb] of an angel.
And [C] they [Dm] were afraid.
Then the stranger [F] spoke.
[C] He said, Do not [Dm] fear.
[F] I come [C] from a planet [Bb] a long way from here.
[C]
[Dm] And I bring [Am] a message [Bb] for mankind [Dm] to hear.
[F] Suddenly [C] the [Bb] sweetest music filled [C] [Dm] the air.

This lovely [F] music [C] went trembling [Dm] through the ground.
[F]
And many were [C] awakened [Bb] on hearing that [C] sound.
[Dm] And travellers on [Am] the road, [Bb] the village they [Dm] found
[Fm] By the light [C] of that ship [Bb] in the sky, which [D] shone [Dm] all around
And just before [F] dawn, [C] at the paling [Dm] of the sky
[F]
A stranger [C] returned and said, [Bb] now I must [C] fly
[Dm] When two [Am] thousand years [Bb] of your time has [Dm] gone by
[F] This song [C] will begin [Bb] once again, to a [C] baby's [Dm] cry
[Bb] And [C] it [Dm] went, ah
