Far to the South a star	A
Bright shining over all	B
And a sound of voices singing	C
'Round a Babe in an ox's stall	B
	-
Three Kings a riding riding	C
With gifts of myrrh and gold	D
Far far from the wild North Ocean	E
Of which this tale is told	D
	-
By the sea in the Hall of Beele	B
Were Yule and joy and feast	F
Outside was the noise of the ocean	E
And storm like a howling beast	F
	-
The King sate at the banquet	G
With his Jarls and Berserks hale	B
Quaffing to Thor and Odin	E
Huge horns of mead and ale	B
	-
Unheeded howled the winter	H
'Round the oak walls of the King	C
For a mighty skald with a runic harp	I
Made the hall re echoing ring	C
	-
Loud laughed the blonde Norse maidens	J
As they brimmed the barmy cup	K
Where the torches flickered the war blades	L
And the bucklers hanging up	K
	-
But out by the thundering North Sea	M
Ten shattered dragons lie	B
Vessels like great sea monsters	N
To the billows heaving high	B
	-
And pale and hacked with gashes	O
'Mid his battered arms lies low	B
The red haired Viking Hareck	C
Half buried in the snow	B
	-
And wan where the waves beat sullen	E
Lies his brother one eyed Hulf	B
Above whose mail d visage	P
Snarls the winter famished wolf	B
	-
And where is seen the glimmer	H
Of arms on dune and shore	Q
Their warriors fierce and long haired	R
Lie frozen in their gore	Q
	-
For Hulf and red haired Hareck	C
To Sogn did harrying sail	B
But Beele and his Berserkers	O
Did give them welcome hale	B
	-
On the shore of the wild North Ocean	E
In the wild mist and the spray	S
In the spindrift and the tempest	T
The battle clanged all day	S
	-
On the shore of the wild North Ocean	E
When fell the wilder night	U
The Vikings Hulf and Hareck	C
As the snow lay cold and white	U
	-
Not for long in their shattered armor	H
By the billow booming deep	V
Were left the terrible warriors	O
In their eternal sleep	V
	-
For Odin from Valhala	B
Saw the Vikings fight and fall	B
And bade the Valkyrs summon	E
The heroes to his Hall	B
	-
They came The ghosts of the Vikings	O
Stood dark browed on the field	W
Moody within the tempest	T
Each leaning on his shield	W
	-
In his great horned helm loomed Hareck	C
His face like some wild moon	X
That looks upon the havoc	C
Of a field with battle strewn	X
	-
Like a dark star dim and misty	M
Faint seen through scud blown air	Y
Hulf's face on the Maids of Odin	E
Shone in its wind tossed hair	Y
	-
And with them lo another	H
Whose face was mild and sad	Z
Unarmed no Viking warrior	H
A Man in whiteness clad	Z
	-
Through snow and the foam of the ocean	E
Glittered the Valkyries	O
And the sound of their trumpet voices	O
Was like to the stormy sea's	O
	-
'Behold ' they cried 'Valhala	B
Awaits And Odin sent	A2
The polished skulls are brimmed with mead	B2
And ready the tournament	C2
	-
'And Thor and Brage and Balder	H
And many an Aza fair	Y
On the pleasant plain of Ida	D2
Await your coming there '	-
	-
And they stretched their glittering gauntlets	O
To the Vikings standing pale	B
And joy lit up their lowering brows	O
Like moonlight in a gale	B
	-
And then the other murmured	E2
And His voice was soft and low	B
And a scent as of myrrh and lilies	O
Swept through the storm and snow	B
	-
'Come to Me ye who labor	H
And ye who are distressed	F2
All all whose hearts are burdened	G2
And I will give you rest	F2
	-
'I bring a different message	P
From that just brought of these	O
A message of love and forgiveness	O
From My Father the King of Peace	O
	-
'Now ends the reign of Odin	E
And My Father's rule begins	O
Peace and good will good will and peace	O
And forgiveness of all sins '	-
	-
And He stretched His arms toward them	H2
And hushed were the howling gales	O
And they saw that His brow was crowned with thorns	O
And His hands were pierced with nails	O
	-
And there in the Hall of Beele	B
The sound of Yule died low	B
And all was hushed as the Word of Christ	I2
Pealed far through the wind and snow	B
