Maddy Prior, Carnival Band This is the Truth- Sing, Sing Lyrics

English Trad.

This is the truth sent from above
The truth of God, the God of love
Theerefore don't turn me from your door
But hearken all both rich and poor.

Thus we were heirs to endless woes
Till God the Lord did interpose
And so a promise soon did run
That he would redeem us by his son.

And at that season of the year
Our blest redeemer did appear
And here did live and here did preach
And many thousands he did teach.

Thus he in love to us behaved
To show us how we must be saved
And if you want to know the way
Be pleased to hear what he did say.

Sing, Sing All Earth

Chorus (after each verse):
Sing! Sing all earth!
Sing! Sing all earth! Eternal praises sing,
To our Redeemer,
To our Redeemer and our heavenly King!

Shepherds arise, be not afraid;
With hasty steps repair
To David's city: see the maid
With her blest Infant there.

For us the saviour came on earth,
For us his life he gave,
To save us from eternal death,
And raise us from the grave.

To Jesus Christ, our glorious King,
Be endless praises given.
Let all on earth his mercies sing,
Who made our peace in heaven!
