The Carol Of The Birds lyrics

Song information

Artist: Joan Baez
Album: Noël

Lyrics

When rose the eastern star, the birds came from a-far
In that full might of glory
With one melodious voice they sweetly did rejoice
And sang the wonderous story
Sang, praising god on high, enthroned above the sky
And his fair mother mary

The eagle left his lair, came winging through the air
His message loud arising
And to his joyous cry the sparrow made reply
His answer sweetly voicing
"Overcome are death and strife, this night is born new life"
The robin sang rejoicing
When rose the eastern star, the birds came from a-far

With kind regards
