A Carol
C. Stanford
Fling out, fling out your windows wide
I bring you joy this Christmas-tide:
To-day is born in Bethlehem
A son of royal David's stem:
Then sing and rest you satisfied --
In excelsis gloria!
"Where is the royal Babe arrayed?"
Lo! He is in a manger laid;
The Lord of life an ox's guest --
But warm He lies on Mary's breast
Then sing and rest you undismayed.
