Shall I tell you who will come To Bethlehem on Christmas morn, Who will kneel gently down Before the Lord, newborn? One small fish from the river, With scales of red, red gold. One wild bee from the heather, One grey lamb from the fold, One ox from the high pasture, One black bull from the herd, One goatling from the far hills, One white, white bird. One large fish from the sea, One small fish from the river, Too shiny to behold, With scales of red, red gold. One tame moth from a tree, One wild bee from the heather, Sable stoled, One grey lamb from the fold, One colt from greet meadows, One ox from the high pasture, One bear cub fat and furred, One black bull from the herd, One goatling and One goatling from the far hills, One white, white bird. One white, white bird. And many children, God gave them grace, Bringing tall candles To light Marys face. Shall I tell you One small fish from the river, Who will come With scales of red and gold. To Bethlehem One wild bee from the heather, On Christmas morn, One grey lamb from the fold, Who will kneel them gently down One ox from the high pasture, Before the Lord, newborn? One black bull from the herd, One goatling from the forest, One white, white bird. White bird. White bird. (White bird.) White bird. White, white bird. (White bird.) (White, white bird.) White, white bird. Whence comes this rush of wings afar Following straight the Noel star Birds from the woods in wondrous flight Bethlehem seek this holy night Tell us, ye birds, why come ye here? Into this stable, poor and drear? Hasting to see the new born King And all our sweetest musics bring Hark! How the winged finch bears his part Philomel, too with tender heart: Chants from her leafy dark retreat, Re, me, fa, sol in accents sweet Angels, and shepherds, birds of the sky Come where the Son of God doth lie Christ from the earth and man doth dwell Come join in the shout, Noel, Noel, Noel. Come join in the shout, Noel, Noel, Noel. Come join in the shout, Noel, Noel, Noel.
