LYRICS: "The Hereford Carol" written by Mike Truelove in 2006. Tune sent to digitrad@world.std.com. THE HEREFORD CAROL (Mike Truelove) From the ancient cathedral sounds drift to the sky O'er the frost sparkled banks of the old river Wye The moon and the stars shine down silvery light In the air is the joy of Christmas Eve night CHORUS: From the city rise voices of children in song Joined by men and by women all singing along The Hereford carol is joyous and true The Hereford carol – we sing it for you Our dear ancient city it echoes with joy As we celebrate Christmas and the birth of a boy The bells they ring out 'cross the city tonight The voices of children thro' the valleys take flight From the city rise voices of children in song Joined by men and by women all singing along The Hereford carol is joyous and true The Hereford carol – we sing it for you In this county of mistletoe, green fields and lanes This county of history, long may it reign Our ancestors stood in this place where we stand In this county of Hereford, jewel in this land From the city rise voices of children in song Joined by men and by women all singing along The Hereford carol is joyous and true The Hereford carol – we sing it for you From the city rise voices of children in song Joined by men and by women all singing along The Hereford carol is joyous and true The Hereford carol – we sing it for you
