about

“In a valley…near a village…there the children say they’ve seen Him…” Across 16th-Century Europe, Christmas songs and tales were often passed from village to village as a means for portraying to peasant children the magical wonder of the nativity story. This original new song from The Front Porch Country Band, written to be sung in French, is presented here in the band’s equally-popular Olde-English translation. Performed as a round, with rich vocal harmonies atop a ¾ waltz-time instrumental style reminiscent of another Christmas classic, “Away In A Manger,” listeners may well envision the Christmas of an earlier era, with musicians playing before simple villagers or a French king’s 16th-century royal court. (Ask about the band’s French-language version, also available.)

LYRICS:

In a valley, near a village stands an old familiar tree
There the children say they’ve seen Him sleeping there
So peacefully

Sing Noel – sing for Christmas
Sing for all the world to tell
Come and see Him – Baby Jesus
Christmas morning
Sing Noel

Soft the evening falls – hear the forest ring
Sweet the angel songs – caroling, caroling

And at midnight in the village near that old familiar tree
There the light shines bright from heaven as He sleeps
So peacefully

Sing Noel – sing for Christmas
Sing for all the world to tell
Come and see Him – Baby Jesus
Christmas morning
Sing Noel

Soft the evening sounds – sweet their voices ring
Sweet the angel songs – caroling, caroling

In a valley, near a village stands an old familiar tree
There the children say they’ve seen Him sleeping there
So peacefully

Sing Noel – sing for Christmas
Sing for all the world to tell
Come and see Him – Baby Jesus
Christmas morning
Sing Noel

Christmas morning
Sing Noel
