He came a most unlikely guest

on night when air was cool and still

and people sought to hide from dark

amidst the shelter of an inn.

To Bethlehem, most came in herds

and they were but just some of those

who sojourned there by foot and ass

to pay their dues and then return.

He came a most unlikely guest

on night when air was cool and still

and people sought to hide from dark

amidst the shelter of an inn.

To Bethlehem, most came in herds

and they were but just some of those

who sojourned there by foot and ass

to pay their dues and then return.

The air, its stillness then did churn

by wings of angels singing mass

proclaiming to whom God had chose

the beauty of His gracious words.

"Peace on the earth, good will to men"

the song rose up as if to arc

from heaven's heights to man's dark will

a word by which we all are blest.
