Advent to Candlemas (Vol. 5)

Lovely Jesus

Ding dong, ding dong, the bells peel out
And we in church must sing, not shout,
When our great joy is put about:
Lovely Jesus.

Now we in cheer shall raptures sing,
In tribute to our infant king,
Ne'er short of simple welcoming:
Lovely Jesus.

All folk of every kind and sort
Shall all their reverence disport,
For what he gave, so dearly bought:
Lovely Jesus!
