Letra adaptada:

It was the eve of Christmas,

The snow lay deep and white,

I sat beside my window,

and look´d into the night,

I heard the church bells ringing,

I saw the bright stars shine,

And childhood came again to me,

With all its dreams divine.

Then, as I list´ned to the bells,

And watch´d the skies afar,

Out of the East majestical

There rose one radiant star,

And ev´ry other star grew pale

Before that heav´nly glow,

It seem´d to bid me follow,

And I could not choose but go.

It was the star, the star of Bethlehem

had led me up to God,

The star, the star,

had led me up to God.
