carol of the birds

When rose the eastern star The birds came from afar
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
"Overcome are death and strife This night is born new life"
The robin sang rejoicing
When rose the eastern star
The birds came from afar
