Description

Sing The Glory is a new Christmas carol for high voices and piano, commissioned by Kingswood School

A Note from Sue Curtis

Sing the Glory is very much in a gospel choir tradition. I wanted it to be fun, full of joy and movement; something that would make the people that sang it happy. It speaks very directly to a child’s experience; the creatures that join in the celebrations are the creatures that inhabit the books, films and cartoons that they will all have grown up with, as the world of their imagination blends with the reality of Christmas.

Sing The Glory – Lyrics

Suns and moons and
Stars are dancing,
Waltzing in the sky.
Birds and songs and
Hopes and wishes
Flying round on high!

Hear the loud bells!
Hear the carols!
Sing the glory!
Sing the joy!

He is born
This Christmas morning!
Mary’s little boy!

Deer are running
In the forest
Hares leap for the moon!
Tigers twirling,
Hippos whirling!
Crickets strum the tune!

Hear the loud bells!
Hear the carols!
Sing the glory!
Sing the joy!

He is born
This Christmas morning!
Mary’s little boy!

Under earth the
Worms are turning
Twisting with the beat!
Moles step out in
Velvet waistcoats
Underneath our feet

Hear the loud bells!
Hear the carols!
Sing the glory!
Sing the joy!

He is born
This Christmas morning!
Mary’s little boy!

Undersea the song is silent
Bubbling through the waves,
Eels and Sea Stars,
Prawns and Clownfish, 
Bursting into praise!

Hear the loud bells!
Hear the carols!
Sing the glory!
Sing the joy!

He is born
This Christmas morning!
Mary’s little boy!
All creation
Joins the shout of
Universal joy!

He is born
This Christmas morning!
Mary’s little boy!
