The Moon Shines Bright
Version from Albert Beale
Recorded by Maud Karpeles and Peter Kennedy, Kenardington, Kent, 14th Jan 1954.
- The moon shines bright, the stars give light
A little before it was day
The Lord our God he calls on us
And bids us to wake and to pray - Awake, awake good people all
Awake and you shall hear
The Lord our God died on the cross
For us he loved so dear - Today you may be alive, dear man
And worth some thousand pound
But tomorrow you may be dead, dear man
And your corpse laid under the ground - A tablet at your head, dear man
And another at your feet
Then your good deeds and your bad deeds
Before the Lord shall meet - So now my carol is almost sung
No longer can I stay here
May the Lord bless you all, both great and small
and send you a happy new year
