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) Added to DT Oct 1998
