On This Wondrous Night

In the snowy village square stands a boy
Lone with his drum
And he taps a solemn march so all will know
The miracle has come

And the people of town enthrall
To the sound of a world set right
Play on drummer boy
Play on drummer boy
On this most wondrous night
On this wondrous night

A precious girl cockles her lips preparing to play
Raising the bell of her horn to kiss the North Star
And her crystalline breathe, a tone so clear
You'll hear it near, wherever you are

And the people of town enthrall
To the sound of a world set right
Play on drummer boy
Play on precious girl
On this most wondrous night
On this wondrous night

'Round the belvedere the town's people have come
Draping its rail in bough of holly and pine
And they sing a song along with the horn and drum
To the rum tum tum, to the rum tum tum
To the rum tum tum, church bells chime

And the people of town enthrall
To the sound of a world set right
Play on drummer boy
Play on precious girl
Sing out every soul
On this most wondrous night
On this wondrous night
On Christmas night
