JULIAN OF NORWICH*
(Sydney Carter)

Loud are-the bells of Norwich and the people come and go.
Here by the tower of Julian, I tell them what I know.

     CHORUS
     Ring out, bells of Norwich, and let the winter come and go
     All shall be well a-gain, I know.

Love, like- the yellow daffodil, is coming through the snow.
Love, like- the yellow daffodil, is Lord of all I know.

     CHORUS
Ring for the yellow daffodil, the flower in the snow.
Ring for the yellow daffodil, and tell them what I know.

     CHORUS

Loud are the bells of Norwich and the people come and go.
Here by the tower of Julian, I tell them what I know.

     CHORUS
All shall be well, I'm telling you, let the winter come and go
All shall be well a-gain, I know.

*Julian, or Juliana, who was born in 1343 and spent her lifetime as a hermit in Norwich, UK, was a celebrated English mystic.
