Old Waits Carol Lyrics - The Mcgarrigle Christmas Hour - Kate & Anna Mcgarrigle

The moon shines bright and the stars give a light, 

A little before it is day 

The Lord our God He for-gave us, 

And bids us awake and pray. 

The life of man is but a span, 

And cut down in its flower, 

We're here to-day, to-morrow gone, 

The creatures of an hour. 

To-day you may be alive and well, 

Worth many a thousand pound; 

To-morrow dead and cold as clay, 

Your corpse laid underground. 

 

With one turf at thine head, O man, 

And another at thy feet; 

Thy good deeds and thy bad, O man, 

Will all together meet. 

My song is done, I must be gone, 

I can stay no longer here; 

God bless you all, both great and small, 

And send you a joyful new year.
