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 henec away,

and give the honour to this day,

that sees December turn to May.

If we may ask the reason say: we see him come,

and know him ours,

who with his sunshine and his showers,

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,

the nobler part 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 honour who’s our king,

and Lord of all this reveling.

 

哪有什麼歌曲如同我們帶來的音樂，比頌歌更甜美

為了這位天國之王的誕生？

喚醒那聲音！

喚醒弦：黑暗和沈悶的夜晚飛走了，

並祝賀今天，

看到十二月變成五月。

如果我們可以問原因說：我們看到祂來了，

並且認識祂是我們的，

有祂的陽光和沐浴，

把所有的病人都變成鮮花。

 

世界的寵兒來了，

適合祂的是我們找到一個歡迎祂的房間，

所有房子比較高貴的部分是心臟。

我們將給祂，並留下這個冬青和這個常春藤花圈，

為了紀念祂是我們的王，

所有這些陶醉的主啊。
