[Verse 1]
Em Am D G C
In a town of David, not so near to spring,
C B7 Em
At the heart of love, there came a lovely thing.
Em Am D G C
It was the time of Mary, the time of Caesar's reign.
C B7 Em
Nothing in our lives would ever be the same.
[Chorus]
Em Am D G C
Was so long ago, we remember still:
C B7 Em
Star upon the snow, straw against the chill.
Em Am D G C
A planet dancing slow, a tree upon a hill.
C B7 Em
Star upon the snow, straw against the chill.
[Verse 2]
Em Am D G C
Stumbling in the darkness, it was her time for birth,
C B7 Em
Bearing in her womb, the King of all the earth.
Em Am D G C
Searching for some shelter, by a cruel decree,
C B7 Em
They found a kind of glory the mighty never see.
[Chorus]
Em Am D G C
Was so long ago, we remember still:
C B7 Em
Star upon the snow, straw against the chill.
Em Am D G C
A planet dancing slow, a tree upon a hill.
C B7 Em
Star upon the snow, straw against the chill.
[Verse 3]
Em Am D G C
There within a stable, the baby drew a breath
C B7 Em
There began a life that put an end to death,
Em Am D G C
And all the frozen stillness, mighty voices heard:
C B7 Em
"He is here among you! Human is the Word!"
[Chorus]
Em Am D G C
Was so long ago, we remember still:
C B7 Em
Star upon the snow, straw against the chill.
Em Am D G C
A planet dancing slow, a tree upon a hill.
C B7 Em
Star upon the snow, straw against the chill.
