Maddy Prior And The Carnival Band - Unto Us a Boy Is Born lyrics

Unto us a boy is born! King of all creation Came he to a world forlorn The Lord of every nation Cradled in a stall was he With sleepy cows and asses But the very beast could see That he all men surpasses Herod the with fear was filled: "A prince," he said, "in Jewry!" All the little boys he killed At Bethlehem in his fury Now may Mary's son, who came So long ago to love us Lead us all with hearts aflame Unto the joys above us Omega and Alpha he! Let the organ thunder While thе choir with peals of glee Doth render thе air asunder
