Neapolitan Bagpipe Carol
Now when the new-born baby
In Bethlehem did lie
The night appeared as bright as the sun
In the shining noonday sky.
Shining so brightly, glowing so lightly,
Thousands of stars cast their light upon earth
To greatest and to least.
The brightest of all shone out to call
The wise men from the East.
To shepherds in the meadows
Who watched their flocks by night
An angel came in the heart of the fold
All ringed with heavenly light.
“Shepherds so humble, shepherds so faithful,
Lift up your eyes, be not afraid –
Glad tidings you I bring,
For Christ the Lord, the dear Son of God,
Is born to be your King.”
Then men gave up their strife
And peace with mercy came:
The leopard so wild lay down with the calf
And the lion with the lamb.
No more anger, no more danger;
Swords into ploughshares, joy upon earth:
The wolf shall guard the fold.
All creatures rejoice with heart and voice –
Good will to all the world.
