What sweeter music can we bring
than a carol for to sing,
the birth of this our heav'nly King.
Awake the voice, awake the string.
We see Him come and know Him ours.
Dark night fly hence away
Honour to this day
that sees December turned to May
if we may ask the reason say:
We see Him come and know Him ours.
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.
We see Him come and know Him ours.
