Huron Carol (Live At Knox Church, Stratford, Ontario/2021)

'Twas in the moon of wintertime

When all the birds had fled

That mighty Gitchi Manitou

Sent angel choirs instead

Before their light, the stars grew dim

And wondering hunters heard the hymn

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 son 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
