  The sky is dark, the earth is white,
  oh bells ring out with joy
  
  Jesus is born, the Virgin quiet
  shelters her baby boy.
  
  Noel Noel Noel
  bells ring out with joy!
  
  No wraps No festooned curtains
  spread to shield the child from frost
  
  nothing but flimsy spider webs
  trail from the beams aloft.
  
  He shivers in that cold stable
  this Jesus child so dear,
  
  and so to warm him in the cradle,
  the ass and ox draw near.
  
  The snow hangs down in lacy fringe.
  
  But far above the heavens swell
  reveal the angel choir that sings to men
