Testo What sweeter music - John Rutter, Robert Quinney, Choir of King's College, Cambridge, Stephen Cleobury & City of London Sinfonia
Testo della canzone What sweeter music (John Rutter, Robert Quinney, Choir of King's College, Cambridge, Stephen Cleobury & City of London Sinfonia), tratta dall'album Rutter: Requiem
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
Dark and dull night, fly hence away
And give the honour to this day
That sees December turned to May
That sees December turned to May
Why does the chilling winter's morn
Smile like a field beset with corn?
Or smell like a meadow newly-shorn
Thus, on the sudden come and see
The cause, why things thus fragrant be
'Tis He is born, whose quickening birth
Gives life and lustre, 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
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, to welcome Him
And all of heart of all the house here is the heart
Which we will give Him and bequeath
This holly and this ivy wreath
To do Him honour, who's our King
And Lord of all this revelling
What sweeter music can we bring
Than a carol, for to sing
The birth of this our heavenly King?
The birth of this our heavenly King?
