  -1  3  -3  -3*  4  -3* -3   3
'Twas in the moon of win-ter-time
-2   3   3   -3   -2   3
When all the birds had fled
-1    3  -3 -3*  4  -3* -3 3
That might-y Git-chi Man-i-tou
-2  3  -3*   -3   -2   3
Sent an-gel choirs in-stead
3   -5   -5    -3   -3*   4    -3* -3
Be-fore their light the stars grew dim
-3  -3*   -3    3    3   -3    3  3 -2
And won-d�ring hunt-ers heard the hymn.

-1  3   3    -2  -1* -1
Je-sus your King is born
3  -2  -1  3
Je-sus is born
3  -3 -3*  4  -5  -1 3...
In ex-cel-sis glo-ri-a.

Within a lodge of broken bark
The tender babe was found
A ragged robe of rabbit skin
En-wrapped His beauty round
But as the hunter braves drew nigh
The angel song rang loud and high.
Jesus your King is born
Jesus is born
In excelsis gloria.

The earliest moon of wintertime
Is not so round and fair
As was the ring of glory
On the helpless Infant there
The chiefs from far before Him knelt
With gifts of fox and beaver pelt.
Jesus your King is born
Jesus is born
In excelsis gloria.

O children of the forest free
O seed of Manitou
The holy Child of earth and Heav'n
Is born today for you
Come kneel before the radiant Boy
Who brings you beauty, peace and joy.
Jesus your King is born
Jesus is born
In excelsis gloria.
