Another carol referencing the animals' midnight speech, quite hymn-like with a nice chorus to harmonise to.
You Oxen Bold
You oxen bold
Sing out your song for us
Bring heaven to earth in tuneful chorus
You gentle ass
Your voice made soft and sweet
Sing lullabies,
Sing lullabies while the baby sleeps.
Chorus
And sing, and sing,
Your midnight voices stir
And sing, and sing and sing
To the Saviour.
Listen, you farmyard fowl, be still, you geese
Find your new voice and
All your cackling cease.
And birds of branch and barn now sing your fill
With joyful notes in the chorus, singing as you will
Chorus
And the lamb that journeyed to the stall
In from the hills where angels summoned all,
And sing in harmonies to welcome Him
Sing out your loving heart
Sing out to The Shepherd King
Chorus
