Ha la la la la la la la le

Ha la la la la la la la le
Ha la la la la la le lua

When I was afar one winters day
I took my tea beneath the tree
A fire to keep the cold away
And a bite for hungers yearning

When a boy appeared up yonder road
A most peculiar sight to see
He danced and he sang and he clapped his hands
With a story of good tidings

Come and sit besides the fire
I called to this young man
What could bring such joyfulness
I could not understand

He smile outshone the fire
And he looked me in the eye
And he danced and he sang and he clapped his hands
And gave me this reply

He sang:

Ha la la la la la la la le
Ha la la la la la le lua
Ha la la la la la la la le
Ha la la la la la le lua

I sat beneath the sky that night
Beyond imagination
And from the sky a star of light
Directed destination

In all my curiosity
I followed without waiting
Shepherds I met on the way
Were standing dumbly quaking

Then we heard a message
And there seemed some glorious things
An angel has appeared to us
So bright with golden wings

A story of a baby
Who on this night is born;
A King of all the kingdoms;
Our shelter from all storms

They sang:

Ha la la la la la la la le
Ha la la la la la le lua
Ha la la la la la la la le
Ha la la la la la le lua

When I arrived in Bethlehem
The star was brightly shining
Into a manger I could see
A mother and her child

Three men of stately origin
With precious gifts were bearing
They knelt before the new born King
In a holy light I saw

A kingdom for the loving
He has come to lead us to
The Son of man is living now
Can you feel it too

I scarcely can believe my ears
The joy is in my heart
For God has heard his peoples needs
And gave a brand new start

They sang:

Ha la la la la la la la le
Ha la la la la la le lua
Ha la la la la la la la le
Ha la la la la la le lua
