Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Carol of the Birds
This is the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's Rendition
(Thanks to my wife whose ears are better than mine).
Upon this Holy night,
A rush of birds in flight
Their voices filled with splendor.
-Came birds in joyful throng
To sing their praise in song
With carols soft and tender.
-All sang unto the child
To Mary sweet and mild
In adoration tender.
The kindly eagle came
To praise his Holy name
The nightingale came flying.
-All circled and replied
"Tonight is Christmas Night"
Their songs of love were crying.
-The cuckoo and the quail
Flew over hill and dale
They sang of love undying.
Upon this Holy night
Upon this Holy night
Upon this night...
This night a rush of birds in flight.
