The Zither Carol

Girls and boys, leave your toys. make no noise
Kneel at His crib and worship Him
At Thy shrine, Child divine, we are Thine
Our Saviour's here.

[Chorus:]
"Hallelujah!" the church bells ring
"Hallelujah!" the angels sing,
"Hallelujah!" from ev'rything
All must draw near.

On that day - far away - Jesus lay
Angels were wathcing round His head
Holy Child - Mother mild - undefiled
We sing Thy praise.

Shepherds came - at the fame - of Thy name
Angels their guide to Bethlehem
In that place - saw Thy face - filled with grace
Stood at Thy door.

Wise men too - haste to do - homage new
Gold, Myrrh and Frankincense they bring
As 'twas said - starlight led - to Thy bed
Bending their knee.

Oh, that we - all might be - good as He
Spotless with God in Unity
Saviour dear - ever near - with us here
Since life began.
