Song of Christmas Day
Julien Tiersot
A nice shepherd girl,
And a shepherd in an orchard
One day playing a game of marbles
Said to each other to while away the time,
Roger
Shepherd,
Fickle
Shepherdess,
That's enough playing of marbles
Let us sing Noel, Noel, Noel.
Do they recall more of the prophet
Who prophesied such an important event,
That from a perfect virgin
Would be born an entirely perfect child?
The event
Is done;
The beautiful
Virgin
Has had an acknowledged son of heaven.
Let us sing Noel, Noel, Noel.
