1. Winds through the Olive Trees, (alt., Wind through the Olive Trees)
Softly did blow.
Round little Bethlehem,
Long, long ago.
2. Sheep on the hillside lay
Whiter than snow,
Shepherds were watching them,
Long, long ago.
3. Then from the happy skies (alt., Then from the starry skies)
Angels bent low,
Singing their songs of joy;
Long, long ago.
4. For in a manger bed
Cradled we know, (alt., Long, long ago)
Christ came to Bethlehem
Long, long ago.
