Subject: Lyr Add: LET US THE INFANT GREET
LET US THE INFANT GREET
(TRADITIONAL ENGLISH)

Let us the Infant greet,
In worship before Him fall,
And let us pay Him homage meet,
On this His Festival

Let us to Infant sing,
and bring Him of gifts rich store
Let us honour our Infant King
With praise for evermore

Let us to the Infant kneel
And love Him with faithful love,
And let our joyous anthems peal,
for Him who reigns above

Glad hymns in the Infant's laud,
Sing we to Him while we may,
In heaven where He is throned as God
Our service He will pay

Be to the Infant true
While we are dwelling on mould
and He will give us our wages due
A crown of purest gold

(recorded by Loreena McKennitt at Glenstal Abbey, Ireland)
