Lyrics / Letras

People, look east. The time is near
of the crowning of the year.
Make your house fair as you are able,
trim the hearth, and set the table.
People, look east, and sing today:
Love, the guest is on the way.

Furrows, be glad though earth is bare
One more seed is planted there
Give up your strength the seed to nourish
That in course the flower may flourish
People, look east, and sing today:
Love, the Rose is on the way.

Stars, keep the watch. When night is dim
one more light the bowl shall brim,
shining beyond the frosly weather,
bright as sun and moon together,
People, look east, and sing today:
Love, the star, is on the way.

Angels, announce on this great feast
Him who cometh from the East
Set every peak and valley humming
with the word, the Lord is coming.
People, look east, and sing today:
Love, the Lord, is on the way.
