All lyrics clean 4:26

VERSE 1
This is the time we love so well The time of all the year
When winter calls with chilling breath For fireside and good cheer
The time for man and beast to stand To feel the seasons turn
To watch the stars with secret signs And God’s true lessons learn

CHORUS
For the time when the corn is all into the barn The old cow’s breath a frosty white
And the morn along the fallow field Doth silver shine

VERSE 2
And when cold morning’s radiant star Falls over hill and plain
We know anew that little babe Is born to us again
For man and beast and bird and tree Each one in its own place
We bow our hearts and thank our God For winter’s rest and grace

CHORUS
For the time when the corn is all into the barn The old cow’s breath a frosty white
And the morn along the fallow field Doth silver shine
