November Night Lyrics - Cliff Richard

Across the wet November night 

The church is bright with candlelight 

And waiting Evensong, (2x) 

A single bell with plaintive strokes 

Pleads louder than the stirring oaks 

The leafless lanes along. (2x) 

It calls the choirboys from their tea 

And villagers, the two or three, 

Damp down the kitchen fire (2x) 

Let out the cat, and up the lane 

Go paddling through the gentle rain 

Of misty Oxfordshire (2x)

On country morning sharp and clear 

The penitent in faith draw near 

And kneeling here below (2x) 

Partake the heavenly banquet spread 

Of sacramental Wine and Bread 

And Jesus' presence know (2x) 

Photos 

And must that plaintive bell in vain 

Plead loud along the dripping lane? 

And must the building fall? (2x) 

Not while we love the church and live 

And of our charity will give 

Our much, our more, our all (2x)
