Than a bright carol, for to sing
The birth of this, our heavenly King?
Awake the voice! Awake the string!

We see him come and know him ours,
Who with his sunshine and his showers
Turns all the patient ground to flowers.

And give the honor to this day,
Which sees December turned to May;
If we may ask the reason, say: [Refrain]
3. 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: [Refrain]

This holly and this ivy wreath
To do him honor, who’s our King
And Lord of all this revelling: [Refrain] Topics: Christmas Day Scripture: Titus 2:11-13 Languages: English
