Bob Chilcott feat. Choir of King's College, Cambridge & Stephen Cleobury -
Favourite Carols from King's
A Shepherd's Carol
We stood on the hills, Lady
Our day's work done
Watching the frosted meadows
That winter had won
The evening was calm, Lady
The air so still
Silence more lovely than music
Folded by hills, silence
There was a star, lady
Shone in the night
Larger than Venus it was
And bright, so bright
Oh, a voice from the sky, lady
It seemed to us then
Telling of God being born (God being born)
In the world of men
And so we have come, lady
Our day's work done
Our love, our hopes, ourselves
We give to your Son
Our day's work done
Watching the frosted meadows
That winter had won
The evening was calm, Lady
The air so still
Silence more lovely than music
Folded by hills, silence
There was a star, lady
Shone in the night
Larger than Venus it was
And bright, so bright
Oh, a voice from the sky, lady
It seemed to us then
Telling of God being born (God being born)
In the world of men
And so we have come, lady
Our day's work done
Our love, our hopes, ourselves
We give to your Son
