The Moon Shines Bright

The moon shines bright
 And the stars give a light
 In a little while it will be day
 The voice of love it calls upon us all
 And bids us awake and pray
 ♪
 Rise, arise and wake thee rise
 For life she is calling thee
 For it might be the mothering of your sweet soul
 If you open your eyes and see
 That the life of a man it comes with little plan
 It flourishes like a flower
 As tender in the heart into which you're born
 So cherish your every hour
 ♪
 Summertime is coming
 And the trees are sweetly blooming
 And the wild mountain thyme
 Grows around the purple heather
 Will you go, lassie go
 And we'll all go together
 To pluck wild mountain thyme
 All around the blooming heather
 For our time is not long
 Time is an old folk song
 No longer can we stay
 Those that remember say
 Blessed are you all
 Who make it through this brawl
 Long life and another good year
 Blessed are you all
 Who answer to the call
 Long life and another good year
 ♪
 For the moon shines bright
 And the stars will be our height
 Life she is calling thee
 Rise, arise, wake thee arise
 And ever more watchful be
