Carol of the Birds (2)

Carol of the Birds (2)

 Upon this holy night,
 When God's great star appears,
 And floods the earth with brightness
 Birds' voices rise in song
 And warbling all night long
 Express their glad heart's lightness
 Birds' voices rise in song
 And warbling all night long
 Express their glad heart's lightness
 The Nightingale is first
 To bring his song of cheer,
 And tell us of His glad - ness:
 Jesus, our Lord, is born
 To free us from all sin
 And banish ev'ry sadness!
 Jesus, our Lord is born
 To free us from all sin
 And banish ev'ry sadness!
 The answ'ring Sparrow cries:
 "God comes to earth this day
 Amid the angels flying."
 Trilling in sweetest tones,
 The Finch his Lord now owns:
 "To Him be all thanksgiving."
 Trilling in sweetest tones,
 The Finch his Lord now owns:
 "To Him be all thanksgiving."
 The Partridge adds his note:
 "To Bethlehem I'll fly,
 Where in the stall He's lying.
 There, near the manger blest,
 I'll build myself a nest,
 And sing my love undying.
 There, near the manger blest,
 I'll build myself a nest,
 And sing my love undying.
