Description
I decided to throw some vocals over my last version of "Carol of the Birds," since so many have not heard this carol. They're a little rough (Time is rare around this season, I had a WHOLE hour when all 8 of the kids I have at home were out). But I like the sound anyway.

Lyrics
When rose the eastern star, the birds came from afar,
In that full might of glory.
With one melodious voice they sweetly did rejoice
And sang the wondrous story,
Sang, praising God on high, enthroned above the sky,
And the Gift He gave through Mary.
The eagle left his lair, came winging through the air,
His message loud arising.
And to his joyous cry the sparrow made reply,
His answer sweetly voicing.
"Overcome are death and strife, this night is born new life",
The robin sang rejoicing.
The partridge adds his note, “To Bethlehem I fly,
Where in the stall He’s lying.
There, in the manger blessed, I’ll build myself a nest
To soothe the baby’s crying.
There, in the manger blessed, I’ll build myself a nest
And sing of love undying.”
In that full might of glory.
With one melodious voice they sweetly did rejoice
And sang the wondrous story,
Sang, praising God on high, enthroned above the sky,
And the Gift He gave through Mary.
The eagle left his lair, came winging through the air,
His message loud arising.
And to his joyous cry the sparrow made reply,
His answer sweetly voicing.
"Overcome are death and strife, this night is born new life",
The robin sang rejoicing.
The partridge adds his note, “To Bethlehem I fly,
Where in the stall He’s lying.
There, in the manger blessed, I’ll build myself a nest
To soothe the baby’s crying.
There, in the manger blessed, I’ll build myself a nest
And sing of love undying.”

The vocals add a lot to this tune. I hear ya about recording time being rare, and I only have four kids coming in and out. How you got a whole hour is cool. This sounds really pretty. Great harmony. Faved and downloaded. Adding it to my iTunes Christmas collection. Thanks for singing this one for us. :-)
