The Carol Of The Birds Lyrics - Joan Baez

When rose the eastern star, 

The birds came from a-far, 

In that full might of glory. 

With one melodious voice 

They sweetly did rejoice 

And sang the wondrous story. 

Sang, praising God on high, 

enthroned above the sky, 

and his fair mother Mary. 

The eagle left his lair, 

Came winging through the air, 

His message loud arising. 

And to his joyous cry 

The sparrow made reply, 

His answer sweetly voicing 

"O'ercome are death and strife, 

this night is born new life", 

the robin sang rejoicing. 

Ooooh.
