Rutter: What Sweeter Music (Album Version)

What Sweeter Music - The Choirboys

Written by：Robert Herrick/John Rutter

What sweeter music can we bring

Than a carol for to sing the birth

Of this our heavnly king Awake the

Voice awake the string

Dark and dull nights

Fly hence away and give the honor

To this day that sees december

Turned to may That sees december

Turned to may

Why does the chilling winters

Morn smile like a field beset with

Corn or smell like a meadow

Newly shourn Thus on the sudden

Come and see The cause why things

Such fragrent be

Tis' he is born who's quickening

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 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

The noble part of all the house

Here is the heart

Which we receive him and bequeath

This holly and this ivy wreath To

Do him honor whos our king and lord

Of all this reveling
