Rutter: What Sweeter Music

Than a carol, for to sing
The birth of this our heavenly King?
Awake the voice!
Awake the string!
When children would reach for their stockings
And open the presents they found
The lights on the tree would shine bright in their eyes
Reflecting the love all around
He leaned with his head on the window
Watching evergreen bend in the snow
Remembering Christmas the way it had been
So many seasons ago
This year there’s no one to open the gifts
No reason for trimming the tree
And just as a tear made it’s way to the floor
He heard voices outside start to sing
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!
Carolers sang as he opened the door
Faces of friends in the crowd
And all of the shadows of lonely reminders
Driven away by the sound
Now the heart that for years had been silent
Was suddenly filled with the new King
As he clung to their hands like a child in the night
He found herself this revelling
What sweeter music can we bring,
Than a carol for to sing
The birth of this our heavenly King?
The birth of this our heavenly King?
