A Christmas Caroll, Op. 21 Lyrics by Kenneth Leighton

0

What sweeter music can we bring
Than a carol, for to sing
The birth of this our heavenly King?
Awake the voice! Awake the string!
Heart, ear, and eye, and everything
Awake! the while the active finger
Runs division with the singer
Dark and dull night, fly hence away
And give the honor to this day
That sees December turned to May
If we may ask the reason, say
The why, and wherefore all things here
Seem like the springtime of the year?
Why does the chilling Winter's morn
Smile, like a field beset with corn?
Or smell, like to a mead new-shorn
Thus, on the sudden? Come and see
The cause, why things thus fragrant be:
'Tis He is born, whose quick'ning birth
Gives life and luster, public mirth
To heaven, and the under-earth
We see Him come, and know Him ours
Who, with His sunshine, and His showers
Turns all the patient ground to flowers
The darling of the world is come
And fit it is, we find a room
To welcome Him. The nobler part
Of all the house here, is the heart
Which we will give Him; and bequeath
This holly, and this ivy wreath
To do Him honor; who's our King
And Lord of all this reveling
