mu  sic can we bring

Than a carol,   for to  sing

The birth of this, our Heavely King,

          F#m7             B

Awake the voice! Awake the string!

 

 

              F#m7/B     E/B    F#m7/B

Dark and dull night, fly hence a way

                              Dmaj7

And give to honour to this da-a-a-a-ay

             C#m7           F#

That sees De cember turn to May.

Why does the chil ling winter's morn

B/A           E/G#    F#m       Bsus4  B

Smile, like a field beset with corn?

   B/A          E/G#    A     C#m

Or smell like a meadow  newly shorn

             F#m7             B

Thus, on the sudden? Come and see

               F#m7/B               B

The cause, why things thus fragrant be.

          F#m7/B

Tis he is born, whose quickening birth

               C#m7      A/C#   D

Gives life and lustre,   public mirth.

           F#m   G#m  A    B

To heaven, and   the under earth.

 

 

   F#m7/B   E   A      E        A

We see him  co-ome and know him ours

              E/G#  G#m7   F#m7    B

Who, with his sun   shine  and his showers

B    B/A     E/G#  A           C#m

Turns all the pat ient brown to flowers

C#m7      B   A      F#m7           B

Turns all the patient      brown to flowers

            F#m7/B   C#m7     B

The darling of the   world is come

           F#m7/B   B6    F#m7/B

And fit it is, we   find a room

   B6     Dmaj7  D6     C#m     D

To welcome him,      to welcome him.

          A/C#     D       A     F#m         G#

The nobler part of all the house here is the heart.

 

 

     A#m7/D#     G#    C#   G#      C#

Which we will    give  him; and bequeath

     G#/C   Cm7     C#         D#

This hol    ly   and this ivy wreath

A#m7      B    E   C#m7      G#m

To do him hon  our whose our King
