Winter Cold Night 
by John Foley, S.J.

Dark, dark, the winter cold night, lu-lee-lay.
Hope is hard to come by, lu-lee-lay.
Hard, hard the journey tonight, lu-lee-lay.
Star, guide, hope, hide our poor, winter cold night.
And on Earth Peace, Goodwill among men.
Lean, lean, the livin' tonight, lu-lee-lay.
Star seems darker sometimes, lu-lee-lay.
Unto you is born this day a Savior.
Pain, yes, in the bornin' tonight, lu-lee-lay.
Star, guide, hope, hide our poor,
Winter cold night.
