Lyr/Chords Req: All This Night Bright Angels Sing

I'm looking for a song that I think is called, "Chanticleer", but I could be wrong. It starts with the words, "Wake o Earth wake everything. Wake and hear the joy..." When I last heard it, it was sung by a woman accompanied by a hammered dulcimer.

Thank you

ALL THIS NIGHT BRIGHT ANGELS SING

All this night bright angels sing;
Never was such carolling
Hark a voice which loudly cries,
Mortals, mortals wake and rise;
Lo! to gladness turns your sadness;
From the earth is risen a Sun;
Shines all night though day be done.

'Wake, O earth! wake, everything!
Wake and hear the joy I bring;
Wake and joy, for all this night
Heaven and every twinkling light,
All amazing,
Still stand gazing;
Angels, powers, and all that be,
Wake, and joy this Sun to see!'

Hail, O Sun! O blessed Light;
Sent into this world by night;
Let Thy rays and heavenly powers
Shine in these dark souls of ours;
For, most duly,
Thou art truly
God and Man, we do confess;
Hail, O Sun of Righteousness!
Amen

A good job there Sorch! Not one of your "One Minute Miracles" but still a good job! I can't find any recording with Hammered Dulcimer and female voice to match the posters original hearing.....Sorry!

BTW Sorcha.....I have at least joined the "Two Minute Club"....Check out This Thread!

Sorcha,

Thank you very much. This has been a blessed lift in this otherwise sad and horrible day.
