Mormon Tabernacle Choir - The Cat and the Mouse Carol Lyrics

Said the cat to the mouse,
in their dark little house,
In that stable so long ago,
"I am wondering why that bright star in the sky Is shining upon us down below."

And the night skies rang, as the angels sang,
When Love came down to the earth;
And the night skies rang, as the angels sang,
When the Baby King had his birth.

(And the night skies rang, as the angels sang,)
(When Love came down to the earth;
And the night skies rang, as the angels sang,)
When the Baby King had his birth.)

Said the mouse to the cat, as in wonder they sat,
And they saw Mary's face filled with joy, "Perhaps that star we can see is to tell you and me,
Of the coming of this precious little boy."

And the night skies rang, as the angels sang,
When Love came down to the earth;
And the night skies rang, as the angels sang,
When the Baby King had his birth.

(And the night skies rang, as the angels sang)
(When Love came down to the earth;)
(And the night skies rang, as the angels sang,)
(When the Baby King had his birth.)

Sleepy shepherds they saw as they crept through the door And they brought little gifts to the child.
As they gazed with love on the child from above,
Mary turned to the shepherds and smiled.

And the night skies rang, as the angels sang,
When Love came down to the earth;
And the night skies rang, as the angels sang,
When the Baby King had his birth.

(And the night skies rang, as the angels sang,)
(When Love came down to the earth)
(And the night skies rang, as the angels sang)
(When the Baby King had his birth)

So they happily sat,
little mouse, little cat,
As they heard Mary singing to her son, As she cradles with care,
little Jesus so fair,
This baby, the Lord's chosen one

And the night skies rang, as the angels sang,
When Love came down to the earth;
And the night skies rang, as the angels sang,
When the Baby King had his birth.

(And the night skies rang, as the angels sang,)
(When Love came down to the earth;)
(And the night skies rang, as the angels sang,)
(When the Baby King had his birth.)
