What sweeter music - Draper, Steve

"A carol in the modern British Choral tradition. The level of difficulty is moderate - it should be no trouble for a proficient amateur choir. The ALto part splits for a while."

¶Lyrics / Text

What sweeter music can we bring than a carol for to sing, the birth of this our heav'nly King. Awake the voice, awake the string. We see Him come and know Him ours. Dark night fly hence away Honour to this day that sees December turned to May if we may ask the reason say: We see Him come and know Him ours. 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. We see Him come and know Him ours.
