People, Look East - Alfred Deller/The Deller Consort
Written by：Traditional
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 this 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 this way
Birds though you long have ceased to build
Guard the nest that must be filled
Even the hour when wings are frozen
Thy for fledging time has chosen
People look east and sing today
Love the bird is on this way
Stars keep the watch when night is dim
One more light the bowl shall brim
Shining beyond the frosty weather
Bright as sun and moon together
People look east and sing today
Love the star is on this way
Angels announce to middle east
People come 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 this way
