Although not credited, most of the words are taken from a poem, "A Christmas Poem," by Robert Seymour Bridges, published in "The Times" in 1913. If you want to hear a really beautiful setting to music, including the gospel story from St. Luke, you should listen to "In Tera Pax" by Gerald Frinzi. Much better than John Denver.
WOW...if there is one person who can get me in the Christmas spirit it would be John Denver and this song just flows from his heart. Thank you so very much for bringing a smile to my spirit,
Just so, so beautiful! I've always loved this Christmas anthem by John and wish more Christmas music radio stations would include it in their December broadcasts. DerFreishutz, you've shared such a lovely and poignant video. Thank you
Most of the pictures are old Christmas cards. I remember looking at a pack of Christmas cards a few years ago and seeing most of these pictures.
Very nice!

Marvelous! I never realized how old this song is - the lyrics to this version are from 1913. :) I have never heard any other version but JD's.
