Lift up the latch, o lift!

For gold he gives a keen-edged sword,

Defend with it thy little lord,

For inscence, smoke of battle red

Myhrr for the honoured happy dead

Gifts for his children, terrible and sweet

But o, such tiny hands,

And o, such tiny feet!

GKChesterton

1. Here is the little door, lift up the latch, oh lift! We need not wander more, but enter with our gift; Our gift of finest gold. Gold that was never bought or sold; Myrrh to be strewn about his bed; Incense in clouds about His head; All for the child that stirs not in His sleep, But holy slumber hold with ass and sheep. 2. Bend low about His bed, For each He has a gift; See how His eyes awake, ...

@HoquetusVishudda Try Sheet Music Plus website (USA). I just ordered copies for a quartet I'm in at my church, hoping to sing it for the Epiphany. Also hoping that the arrangement is similar. If you are wondering how it sounds with a small group, check out the performance by tenetnyc1 on You Tube, a small group which does a nice job with it.
