margaret ruthven lang - the heavenly noel, op. 57 lyrics

Loading...

oh! what great thing is done tonight
or what good news has sped?
what ails the blessed saints in heaven
they cannot rest in bed?
but up and down so ceaselessly
they go in joy and dread

the gatehouse all is lighted up
wherein saint peter dwells;
st. james looks out of his great house
all made of oyster sh+lls;
in his good hostel by the flood
saint julian rings the bells

saint catherine wears her silver shoes
and pеarl+besprinkled gown;
saint barbara from her high, high towеr
upon the earth looks down;
saint christopher bends wondering eyes
on david’s distant town

the angels’ chanting sound afar
an ancient waterfall;
they do not listen to their strain
nor answer to their call;
their thoughts are on the little earth
not in the heavenly hall
for there they see a lovelier thing
that is beyond the sky;
they see the little lord of heaven
upon his hard bed lie;
their hearts are filled with wonder for
the change of the most high

sanctus, sanctus, sanctus
dominus deus sabaoth;
pleni sunt coeli et terra gloria tua
hosanna in excelsis
