What Sweeter Music

What sweeter music can we bring

Than a carol, for to sing

The birth of this our heavenly King?

Awake the voice! Awake the string!

When children would reach for their stockings

And open the presents they found

The lights on the tree would shine bright in their eyes

Reflecting the love all around

He leaned with him head on the window

Watching evergreen bend in the snow

Remembering Christmas the way it had been

So many seasons ago

This year there's no one to open the gifts

No reason for trimming the tree

And just as a tear made it's way to the floor

He heard voices outside start to sing

What sweeter music can we bring,

Than a carol for to sing

The birth of this our heavenly King?

The birth of this our heavenly King?

Carollers sang as he opened the door

Faces of friends in the crowd

And all of the shadows of lonely reminders

Driven away by the sound

Now the heart that for years had been silent

Was suddenly filled with the new King

As he clung to their hands like a child in the night

He found himself sing of this revelling

What sweeter music can we bring,

Than a carol for to sing

The birth of this our heavenly King?

The birth of this our heavenly King?
