Carol Of The Birds

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 long
express their glad hearts' lightness

The nightingale is first
To bring his song of cheer
And tell us of his gladness:

Jesus our Lord is come
To free us from our sin
And banish every sadness.

Jesus our Lord is come
To free us from our sin
And banish every sadness.

The answering Sparrow cries:
God's come 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, in the manger blessed,
I'll build myself a nest
And sing of love undying.

There, in the manger blessed,
I'll build myself a nest,
And sing of love undying.
