Noel Christmas Eve 1913 chords

[G]A frosty Christmas eve, when the stars were shining
I [Em]traveled forth alone, where w[C]estward falls the h[D]ill
And for m[C]any, many a [D]village, in the [C]darkness of the va[D]lley
Distant m[G]usic reached me, peals of be[C]lls were [G]ringing.

Then [G]sped my thoughts to olden times, to that first of Christmases
When s[Em]hepherds who were watching, heard [C]music in the [D]fields
And they s[C]at there and they m[D]arveled, and they k[C]new they could not t[D]ell
Whether [G]it were angels, or the b[C]right stars a-s[G]inging

But [G]to me heard afar, it was starry music
The [Em]singing of the angels, the [C]comfort of our [D]Lord
Words of [C]old that come a t[D]raveling, by the r[C]iches of the t[D]imes
And I [G]softly listened, as I [C]stood upon the [G]hill
And I softly listened, as I [C]stood upon the h[G]ill
