[Verse 1]
What is this lovely fragrance stealing
Shepherds, that fills the winter air?
Never was sweetness so appealing
Never were flowers of spring so fair
What is this lovely fragrance stealing
Shepherds, that fills the winter air?

[Verse 2]
What is this light so fair, so tender
Breaking upon our wond'ring eyes?
Never the morning star so radiant
Followed his course o'er eastern skies
What is this light so fair, so tender
Breaking upon our wond'ring eyes?

[Verse 3]
What is this wonder all around us
Filling the air with music light?
Shepherds, some magic here hath found us
Never mine ears knew such delight
What is this wonder all around us
Filling the air with music light?

[Verse 4]
What is this lovely fragrance stealing?
Shepherds, it sets my heart astir
Never was sweetness so appealing
Never were flowers of spring so fair
What is this lovely fragrance stealing?
Shepherds, it sets (Shepherds, it sets)
Shepherds, it sets (Shepherds, it sets)
Shepherds, it sets my heart astir
[Outro]
Two women gossiping, um, about the Saviour's birth
And whether it would interfere with their shopping
