What Is This Lovely Fragrance Stealing

What is this lovely fragrance stealing?
Shepherds that fills the winter air
Never was sweetness so appealing
Never were flowers of spring so fair
What is this lovely fragrance stealing?
Shepherds that fills the winter air

What is this light so fair, so tender
Breaking upon our wond'ring eyes
Never the morning star so radiant
Followed his course o'er eastern skies
What is this light so fair, so tender
Breaking upon our wond'ring eyes

What is this wonder all around us
Filling the air with music light?
Shepherds, some magic here hath found us
Never mine ears knew such delight
What is this wonder all around us
Filling the air with music light?

What is this lovely fragrance stealing?
Shepherds, it sets my heart astir
Never was sweetness so appealing
Never were flowers of spring so fair
What is this lovely fragrance stealing?
Shepherds, it sets my heart astir
