Above the weary waiting world, / Asleep in chill despair, / There breaks a sound of joyous bells / Upon the frosted air. / And o'er the humblest rooftree, lo, / A star is dancing on the snow.
What makes the yellow star to dance / Upon the brink of night? / What makes the breaking dawn to glow / So magically bright, -- / And all the earth to be renewed / With infinite beatitude?
The singing bells, the throbbing star, / The sunbeams on the snow, / And the awakening heart that leaps / New ecstasy to know, -- / They all are dancing in the morn / Because a little child is born.
