Steeleye Span - Chanticleer lyrics
[Steeleye Span - Chanticleer lyrics]
Day's proclaiming trumpeter
Claps his wings and loudly cries
Mortals, mortals awake and rise
See a wonder heaven is under
From the earth is risen a sun
Shines all night though day be done
Wake oh earth, wake everything
Wake and hear the joy I bring
Wake and joy for all this night
Heaven and every twinkling light
See a wonder heaven is under
From the earth is risen a sun
Shines all night though day be done
All men stare amazing
Still now stand a-gazing
Angels, powers and all that be
Wake and joy this sun to see
See a wonder heaven is under
From the earth is risen a sun
Shines all night though day be done
Hail oh sun, oh blessed light
Sent into the world by night
Let thy rays and heavenly powers
Shine in these dark souls of ours
See a wonder heaven is under
From the earth is risen a sun
Shines all night though day be done
See a wonder heaven is under
From the earth is risen a sun
Shines all night though day be done
